Abstract | This paper reports on findings from a survey of teacher education faculty and students solicting opinions on the effectiveness of foundations courses in the teacher education curriculum. The survey population was drawn from member institutions of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. Perceptions were sought on: (1) the quality of the education program; (2) the academic ability of students; (3) the adequacy of preparation for entry-level teaching; (4) the adequacy of preparation for core teaching functions; (5) the appropriateness of preparation for teaching in culturally diverse classes; (6) the general rigor of education courses compared to other college courses; and (7) the importance students and faculty assign to foundations study for teacher preparation. A brief analysis of the findings is presented in a summary of the paper. Two tables are included: opinions on prospective teachers' ability to teach in core functions, and opinions on the extent to which study in educational foundations has contributed to students' understanding and attitudes.
