Abstract

The current study presents the development of a student outcome standard framework for competence-based teacher training programs in universities of education. The outcome standard framework was built in direction of approaching students’ quality, competency including 5 standards: Key qualities; Core competences; Pedagogical competence; Specialistic scientific competence; Self-study, research and profession development competence. Based on this standard framework, education universities can build student outcome standards for each training program following a multiple-step controlled process. Each student outcome standard of a training program must transparently determine specific requirements of profession competencies. Each standard consists of the criteria of the target-competence and then, each criterion is specifically specified into indicators with several typical-specific behaviors. From this standard framework, education universities can develop student outcome assessment instruments (checklist\ scale\ or questionnaire) for evaluating graduated-student outcome quality\ effectiveness of every teacher training program
