Overview

Mixed-methods study uncovers variable faculty-perceived alignment with international accreditation standards, suggesting that successful adoption requires strong institutional readiness.

Key Points

To examine faculty perceptions regarding the alignment of teacher education programs with international CAEP accreditation standards and identify institutional factors influencing implementation.
Conducted an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study consisting of a quantitative survey administered to education faculty members (N=38) analyzed with descriptive statistics.
Conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with purposively selected faculty members (N=7) and analyzed historical institutional accreditation reports using thematic analysis.
Survey findings revealed moderate perceived alignment with CAEP Standards 1 (Content and Pedagogical Knowledge), 2 (Clinical Partnerships and Practice), and 6 (Fiscal and Administrative Capacity).
Faculty reported lower alignment for CAEP Standards 3 (Candidate Quality, Recruitment, and Selectivity), 4 (Program Impact), and 5 (Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement).
Qualitative analysis linked weaker standard alignment to institutional barriers, including selective recruitment deficits, weak school-university partnerships, leadership coordination gaps, and limited resource capacity.
