This volume contains a summary of the results of the Queensland (Australia) Board of Teacher Education's investigation into the Bachelor of Education degree (B.Ed.) in the Queensland advanced education system. Data collection involved information obtained from interviews with teachers and teacher educators and their responses to a survey questionnaire. Study areas focused on teacher entry characteristics; motivation to participate; aims of B.Ed. programs; program structure; student experiences within the program; school contextual factors; and the effects of the program on teachers who completed it, on the schools, and on lecturers. Results indicate that students looked favorably upon the program. Other findings and recommendations for program improvement are discussed. (CB)
