THE FUNDAMENTAL THEORIES FOR DEVELOPING AN INNOVATIVE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM

Abstract

In this literature review, there are some reasons why we need an innovative education program for preparedness preservice teachers. Developing teacher quality is crucial in education and is still a challenge in Indonesia. These challenges require teacher knowledge to master concepts, technologies, pedagogics, for preservice teachers. However, the facts show that the majority of preservice teachers lack adequate pedagogical skills despite being familiar with the technology.  It is important to design an educational program for the professional development of teachers, especially preservice teachers, to use an approach to the development of teacher preparation that integrates content, teaching, and learning integrated with technology. The main question is what are the fundamental theories that can be used as the basis for developing an innovative teacher education program?
