The abstract is listed below: Field experiences provide PSMTs with the opportunity to demonstrate their content and pedagogical knowledge while working with students under the supervision of a mentor teacher and a university supervisor in most situations. The studies included in this survey focused on different aspects of field experiences provided to PSMTs—field experiences connected to methods courses, use of video cases as a virtual field experiences, and summative student teaching experiences. These studies provide useful insights into effective field experiences for PSMTs. 17 articles were examined and most of them are qualitative in nature. The survey also revealed that there is a need for more studies related to field experiences and their impact on PSMTs’ development.

Ukrainians form one of the largest groups of all third-country nationals living and working in the European Union. This chapter critically reflects on the “four waves” perspective on migration. It provides briefly the historical context and the necessary background on Ukrainians worldwide. It outlines the structure of this volume and the key issues discussed in the book, such as the continuous transformation of migration from Ukraine, the progress and silence in certain research areas, and the national differences in data availability.

This chapter provides an overview of research on trends in Ukrainian migration before and since independence in 1991 with the aim of historicizing both the mobility patterns and research agendas of such mobilities. The chapter specifically sets out to analyze continuities and disruptions emerging from two distinct ideologies of Soviet and post-Soviet Ukraine that shaped approaches to researching and documenting migration. In seeking to link these two periods of migration it suggests factors for further research. Previous research agendas have been dominated by studies examining “hard facts” and major migration trends; in-depth studies of macro-level determinants of migration and the micro-level aspirations associated with it remain neglected. Post-independence research treats migration from Ukraine as a new economically driven phenomenon, neglecting the continuities linking it to mobility patterns of Soviet times.

This chapter synthesizes our current understanding of the economic aspects of the migration of Ukrainian workers to the EU. The analysis is divided into three parts. It first reviews the main reasons for the migration of Ukrainian workers abroad and the factors determining their choice of destination country. It also looks at the impact of the changing economic situation in Ukraine and in the destination countries on migration flows. Second, it appraises the evidence on the labour market performance of Ukrainians working abroad. Its third part is devoted to analysis of the economic impact of migration on Ukraine as a sending country. The chapter concludes with a summary of the main topics in the migration-related economic literature that deserve further research attention in view of their academic and policy importance.

The chapter addresses the legal aspects of Ukrainian nationals’ migration to countries of the European Union, and the ways in which legality and policy frameworks impact both migration from Ukraine and individual experiences of migrants. It reviews selected migration regulations and examines studies that include policies and their implementation in the area of admissions and response to irregular migration in the context of Ukrainians’ mobility. It also refers to various forms of irregularity and semi-compliance as a quite common legal position for Ukrainians in the EU countries and economies, as identified in other research.

Research on post-independence Ukrainian migration to the EU has seen a proliferation of qualitative works on women in migration. In Ukraine gendered analysis often bears a very narrow interpretation, in which stands for , while stands for or . Thus the migration debate is hijacked by a narrow understanding of gender as migration. In other words, women, children and the familial sphere remain within the domain of gendered enquiries, while men and women outside families seem untouched by the gender discussion of Ukrainian migration. This chapter maps the development of gender perspectives in the explorations of Ukrainian labour migration to the EU and provides a critique of the shortcomings of the gendered analysis, while offering an agenda for further enquiries.

Ukrainian migration is an important case in the investigation of the temporariness of international mobility from a conceptual and empirical perspective. It also enables the role of temporality to be explored as an analytical dimension in migration studies. This chapter examines causes and consequences of the temporariness of international mobility and considers how different temporal forms of migration are distinguished, conceptualized and addressed in the literature on Ukrainian migration to Europe.

This chapter maps the data on the scale and characteristics of contemporary Ukrainian migration to Poland – mostly a type of circular mobility between neighbouring countries, which is work-oriented and primarily based on social networks. However, Ukrainians are also strongly present among the settled migrants, students, naturalized foreigners and foreigners married to Poles. An overview of research on this largest and increasingly diverse migrant group in Poland is presented. Socio-demographic characteristics of recent Ukrainian migrants, their places of origin and residence in Poland are discussed. The available literature on Ukrainian migration to Poland is also critically reviewed, with the main topics – from mobility patterns to integration issues – identified.

Ukrainians are the largest group among migrants in the Czech Republic. Ukrainian migration to this country is primarily economic in nature and many of these immigrants remain on the lowest rungs of the labour market. The global economic recession adversely affected Czech economic performance and had a significant impact on non-EU labour migration to the country. Ukrainian migration grew rapidly before 2008 but appears to have stabilized since the recession. Ukrainian immigration has changed over the last two decades. For many years it was seen as temporary labour migration dominated by men; however, today more than half of those Ukrainian nationals have settled and almost half are women. Ukrainians are no longer temporary guest workers in the Czech Republic: over time they have become increasingly integrated into the country’s society. In the future Ukrainians can be expected to form one of the largest national minorities in the Czech Republic.

Ukrainian nationals began arriving in Greece in the 1990s and are now among the most well-established and populous migrant groups in the country. The available statistics show clearly that migration from Ukraine to Greece has a strong female character which explains why the Greek literature on Ukrainian migration focuses mainly on issues related to female migration and domestic work. According to the 2011 census women comprise more than 80 % of the total Ukrainian population in the country. Since 2008 the inflow of Ukrainian migrants to Greece has diminished and the tendency for migrants to return has been further intensified by the current economic crisis and was observed until the outbreak of the armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine in 2014.
