The purpose of this study was to develop a set of guidelines to improve the preservice education of the urban elementary school teachers of Iran. The guidelines include criteria for: (1) Goals of preservice teacher education in Iran. (2) Admission requirements. (3) Organization of elementary teacher education. (4) Curriculum. (5) Student teaching program. (6) Evaluation. (7) Qualifications of teacher educators. / The data for this descriptive study were obtained from an analytical review of the literature which addressed: (1) Urban elementary preservice teacher education in Iran. (2) New programs and projects of teacher education in selected developing countries. (3) Successful innovative teacher education programs in the developed countries. (4) Consensus of educational experts in reference to the essential components of preservice teacher education. / The developing countries selected were nations with institutions and beliefs comparable to those of Iran. The developed countries selected were those which have made substantial contributions in the field of teacher education, and have been pioneers in implementing many innovative projects and models in their preservice teacher education programs. / The data were compiled by making summary tables of the seven basic components of teacher education for each of the developing and developed countries included in the study as well as a summary table indicating the experts' consensus of these components. The data contained in these summary tables were comparatively analyzed for the purpose of developing the guidelines for improving urban elementary preservice teacher education in Iran. The aim was to adapt, not adopt, these ideas to the Iranian way of life, taking into account the availability of resources, and other existing constraints. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 44-12, Section: A, page: 3662. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1984.
