BÜMEN**, Makbule BAŞBAY*** Abstract Te purpose of this case study is to examine the efectiveness of a Secondary Teacher Education Graduate Program. We collected qualitative data through interviews with two graduate school directors, five department heads, 58 faculty members and five students at Ege University. We conducted a descriptive analysis technique on the data. According to the results, there are many problems concerning the program such as high quotas of stu- dents, unsatisfactory selection of students, lack of motivation for the program and the co- urses both among the students and the faculty members, insuficiency of the faculty mem- bers in the areas of knowledge and pedagogy, ineficiencies in the management of the co- urses (especially of the practical courses), lack of specific institutions and persons respon- sible for the program. Furthermore, the program does not refect the innovations in teac- hing and the changes in secondary education. Te participants mainly suggested admi- nistrative solutions for the program.
