Research from Frontiers in Education (International) examined teacher education programs operating in conflict zones, focusing on the professional identity, resilience, and practical training adaptations of students and mentors. This mixed-methods study involved 257 participants (227 students and 30 mentors) at one Teacher Training College during the 2024 academic year, following the October 7, 2023 attacks. The study highlights the significant disruption faced by these programs and the limited existing empirical research on how acute crises affect professional identity formation and learning processes in real time.
