Fifteen categories of issues described therein. Regarding our suggestions for future research on teacher education, this study recommends strengthening the body of literature on the following themes: (1) the professional development of preservice teachers, (2) teacher education for special education, (3) quality assurance for teacher education, (4) the career development of preservice teachers, (5) teacher education for experimental education and rural schools, (6) the sociology of teacher education, and (7) the operation of teacher education centers.
