Abstract

The present research aims to “design a curriculum model for elementary teacher education in line with the fundamental reform document of education” (FRDE). In doing so, the normative inquiry and the qualitative content analysis of data were used. We reviewed the theoretical and research background of the teacher education curriculum. The FRDE and the theoretical foundations of the reform document were studied and the concepts which were related to education were categorized using thematic analysis. In the first step, the principles of teacher education curriculum were determined. To explain these principles for elementary teacher education, we interviewed 6 scholars who have written the theoretical foundations of the reform document, as well as 14 connoisseurs in the field of education. In this process, five principles were achieved: Wise freedom continuous evolution, authenticity and authority of trainers, gaining competencies, the encounter and the experience. Finally the components of teacher education curriculum were specified: ultimate values, goals, content, method, the role of teacher, evaluation, climate, time, place and sustainability and improvement. According to the approach of training competent teacher, the necessary competencies for elementary teacher training were designed in the form of a model.
