Abstract:

 

The current paper aims to analyze how, and in which extend the innovative, extracurricular, and experiential activities help students in Teacher Education Programs (TEPs) in their future personal life and professional career. To examine the efficiency of Athens University of Economics and Business, Harvard Graduate School of Education and Stanford Graduate School of Education TEPs in terms of both academic value as well as the experience that students gain through their participation in each of them, there are used three main factors, which are a) practical classroom experience, b) experientiality through extracurricular activities and c) the interconnection of art, culture and education. These are the three variables used for the needs of data analysis too. The methodology used includes comparative qualitative analysis of the Programs mentioned, taking into consideration participants’ testimonials. Some of our main findings indicate, that classroom experience and skills gained from innovative activities help not only teacher-candidates adapt in the demanding school environment, but also expand their horizons in terms of creativity and emotional intelligence. While comparing for the first time TEPs from three different states, our innovative study is of great importance for TEPs as well as school-teachers worldwide.
