Abstract: The purpose of this study is to establish a vision to improve teacher education standards by way of
examining the views of prospective teachers from Turkey, Germany, and Denmark. The study was carried
out in three countries during the 2007 2008 academic year.The qualitalive results of the research were
obtained through studying the wievs of 150 prospective teachers and carrying out interviews with 16
students. Hie result of the research showed that all three countries had an applicable development program.
On a more negative note, "complicated theory" was found to be emphasized. The need for more practice was
strongly stated as being essential for a good teacher training program.The completion of the research took
place through the discussion of quality standards in teacher education. © 2009 Eǧitim Damşmanliǧi ve
