Academic quality management in teacher education: a Singapore perspective

---

Purpose – Quality assurance and management is vital for the continuous improvement of the
content, delivery and development of teacher education programmes. This paper seeks to explore
theoretical issues and ideas in assessing the quality preparation of teachers in the Singapore context.
Design/methodology/approach – An academic quality framework provides an architectural
approach to optimizing quality processes, transitioning from a disjointed set of quality processes to an
integrated workflow based upon established best practices.
Findings – The architectural framework provided a systematic focus to develop and sustain the
academic quality of the teacher development programmes. Quality change and developments occur
through collaboration and learning. The emphasis is on quality management as a process-oriented
strategy.
Originality/value – There is a shift in paradigm from traditional models of programme evaluation
to a systems approach that incorporate multi-dimensional models to impact administration, teaching
and research in a teacher education institution. Thus Singapore’s teacher education quality
management should be considered beyond a set of measurement tools towards a systematic, scheduled
and focused examination as a whole, as a process-oriented strategy.
