A Model For Evaluating Pre-service EFL Teacher Education Programmes:

Colleges of Education in different universities of the world strive to provide student teachers with opportunities to succeed in challenging educational programmes. To support this aim, EPEETSEM Model (Mahwari¿s Model) was designed to evaluate teacher education programmes using four domains. Recent work highlights the potential utility of four domains for evaluating teacher education programmes effectiveness: (1) Educational purposes domain, (2) educational experience domain, (3) teaching strategies domain, and (4) evaluation methods domain. This book also highlights the utility and limitations of each of these domains for evaluating teacher education programmes and provides a set of recommendations for their optimal use by teacher education programmes and other stakeholders in teacher preparation. This model can be used by institutions or colleges of education to improve their teacher education programmes. I hope that this model that focuses on components of the curriculum of teacher education programmes to be useful for improving these programmes.
