Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze final thesis practices in European countries within the context of teacher education orientations and research-based teacher education initiatives through conceptual and research literature. Teacher education orientations guide planning and organization of teacher education programs and provide implications for the professional competencies these programs should aim for student teachers. How research is perceived in relation to professional development of teachers and is integrated into their initial preparation has a bearing on how final thesis is organized and implemented in teacher education programs. Against this background, final thesis is analyzed conceptually in terms of various purposes and practices, and a model is offered to characterize the diversity in teacher education initiatives taken by the European countries as an outcome of the Bologna agreement on standardizing higher education.
