Abstract

The accreditation systems for teacher training programs generally combine input/process indicators with output/performance indicators. However, in Chile, the current national accreditation system of teacher training programs does not take into account output/performance indicators. The international context and the growing national demand for improving pre-service teacher education programs encourages us to explore and to expand the current quality indicators present in the teacher training programs. In this paper, indicators for teacher employment and retention rates of new teacher graduates are created and analyzed for their variance and coherence with the current accreditation system and with the institutional results on the teacher evaluation, INICIA.
