Abstract

This study aimed to examine the historical process of the Pedagogical Formation Education Certificate Program in Turkey and to propose a new model. Document analysis was used in the study. The 1973 Law No. 1739 on the Fundamental Law on National Education gave bachelor's degree graduates the right to take Pedagogical Formation Training Certificate Program courses through in-service training courses and become teachers. About the pedagogical formation education certificate, a directive dated September 28, 2021, on the teaching practice of students in educational institutions affiliated with the Ministry of National Education came into force recently. By the aim of the study, the quality of pedagogical formation education practices from 1973 to 2021 was analyzed and the proportion of courses offered to students was compared. According to the findings, the decisions and practices regarding the program from 1973 to 2021 do not constitute unity. The fact that experience and knowledge are not taken into account shows that a unique Pedagogical Formation Education Certificate Program model that can be used in the Turkish education system has not been put forward. Based on the issue a new model was developed. It is expected that this model will offer a new perspective to education politicians and teacher training institutions and contribute to the development of teacher training programs specific to the Turkish education system

Keywords: Pedagogical Formation Education, Teaching Profession Courses, Non-Thesis Master's Degree
