Recent approaches to teacher preparation in Palestine

Bushra Albadawi, Suheir Sabbah

Abstract


An analysis of recent programs in Palestine for developing teachers provides a look at these programs and examines their standards. Education in Palestine needs to be improved, as well as clear and explicit policies for teacher education and the ongoing development of teachers. The aim is to raise the quality of teacher education programs in Palestine through technology-enhanced learning teaching and assessment. It also aims to improve academic staff's ability to teach and conduct research in the Palestinian universities through the Project. Teacher education is the process of preparing future teachers by providing them with a solid grounding in pedagogy. This can be traditional or closed, with an objectivist focus on learning outcomes, or progressive or open, with a student-centered focus on the learning process. In many countries, higher education institutions provide the majority or a student's entire initial teacher training. An analysis of innovation programs in Palestine for developing teachers provides a look at these programs and examines their standards. The SPEP aims to improve classroom pedagogy through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in schools in Palestine. For each school, an improvement plan is developed that includes specific action plans and targets as well as clearly defined success criteria. For the next 36 schools to get involved, this phase will assess how well they are doing in terms of their goals, as well as finalise and adapt the various products and materials developed during the implementation phase into guidelines and prototypes.
