Abstract

The Turkish education system and teacher-training system was inherited from the Ottomans. The first Ottoman teacher-training school was opened in 1848, and there were 20 such schools for primary education and one for secondary education when the Republic of Turkey was established in 1923 (Okçabol 2005a, Okçabol 2005b). The numbers and types of teacher-training schools expanded after 1923. These schools were run by the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) until 1982. Some universities began to set up a school of education to provide teaching certificate programs based on 7 to 8 teaching-methods courses, following the establishment of the Faculty of Educational Sciences at Ankara University in 1965 (Küçükahmet 1976, Okçabol 2005b). These certificate programs were generally for undergraduate students in the schools of arts and sciences.
