ABSTRACT
THE QUALITY OF TEACHER EDUCATION The nature and quality of teacher education is the subject of analysis and debate worldwide. In Britain it is Her Majesty’s Inspectorate who, in the absence of independent research evidence, has been influential in mapping the domain (HMI, 1987; 1988; 1991). In making their professional judgements they have tended to emphasize knowledge of subjects, of curriculum, of learners and of assessment.
