Characteristics of preschool teacher training quality at pedagogical universities according to the AUN-QA approach

Preschool teacher training quality according to the quality assurance approach of the ASEAN University Network - Quality Assurance (AUN-QA). In the context of educational innovation and international integration, improving the quality of preschool teacher training is significantly important for the development of the educational system. The research uses methods of analyzing and synthesizing scientific documents related to higher education quality, teacher training, and the AUN-QA quality assurance framework to clarify the concepts and characteristics of preschool teacher training quality. The research results show that preschool teacher training quality according to the AUN-QA approach is expressed through several basic characteristics such as: being oriented by expected learning outcomes; systemic nature and the alignment between components of the training program; student-centered teaching methods; competency-based student assessment systems; internal quality assurance linked to continuous improvement; and alignment with regional and international integration trends. Applying the AUN-QA quality assurance framework contributes to orienting the development of preschool teacher training programs toward modernity, meeting the requirements of educational innovation and improving the quality of educational human resources.
