Abstract

This study was aimed at comparing the implementation of pre-service teacher training programs at two different institutions—the faculty of education of a public university in South Sumatera, Indonesia and the faculty of education of a public university in Cairo, Egypt. The data were obtained through documentation and interview. Documentation dealt with rules, regulations, and all related documents used in running the preservice teacher education of both institutions. Interviews were conducted to the lecturers and management of the two institutions. Both data were analysed qualitatively using thematic analysis. Four main findings were revealed. First, both institutions apply different recruitment methods in accepting prospective students by considering minimum qualification required, recruitment process, entrance test, and terms and conditions of acceptance. Second, both institutions run the pre-service training program differently in terms of period of study, number of credits required, kind of curriculum applied, level of curriculum, lecturer qualification, student grade point average, and grading system of subjects. Third, the graduates of both institutions qualify to become teachers at both the primary education and secondary education. Last, both institutions encounter problems in running the programs. The problems vary from student recruitment, process of educating, training, and preparing student during their study timeline, and problem related to long job-waiting time and number of vacancy provided.
