Reflection on the Distribution of Student Teachers in Geography Education in Farhangian University

Teacher training centers have been renovated since 2011 under the name of the University of Farhangian and have been recruiting students from all over the country from 2012 to 2018, including undergraduate degrees in geography education. The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the process of distribution of Geography teacher students in the provincial campuses of this university during the above mentioned period by quantitative method and document analysis. For this purpose, the necessary information about the number and place of admission of undergraduate students of Geography education from the field of elective courses of 2012-2013 was extracted and entered in SPSS software and the necessary statistical parameters were described, calculated and analyzed. The results show that during this period of 7 years, a total of 1108 teachers were recruited in this field, of which 771 were male and 337 were female. The male in 11 and the female in 7 provincial campuses are distributed. The study revealed that initially there were professors and facilities available at the teacher training centers to make decisions about student teachers' distribution. But over time, taking into account the scientific principles of educational and curriculum planning and taking into account the conditions of student teachers ,the situation has become more balanced. The selection of Alborz, South Khorasan, Tehran, and Khuzestan provinces as the four national hubs of geography education and the allocation of new faculty and new equipment to them has consolidated the status of undergraduate geography education in the country
