Abstract

Background and Objectives: The primary aim of this research is to examine the philosophical foundations of teacher training within the context of the Islamic Republic of Iran, grounded in the intellectual framework established by the Imams of the Revolution. Methods: In this regard, analytical-inferential method has been used to answer the research questions. Findings: The findings reveal that, within the intellectual framework of the Imams of the Revolution, teacher training holds a significant status. Imam Khomeini (RA) approaches education comprehensively, considering it in relation to the entirety of existence and humanity's rightful position within it as the "Divine Caliph." He emphasized that the path to human development and achieving true perfection is through understanding ontology, epistemology, and anthropology from the perspective of the Quran and Islam. In Imam Khomeini's intellectual system, the prevailing philosophy of teacher training aims to develop educators who seek closeness to God, enriched along this path in areas such as belief and worship, moral character, social and political awareness, as well as scientific, intellectual, technological, aesthetic, and artistic growth. Conclusion: In the intellectual framework of the Supreme Leader, the foundations of education are rooted in the principles of ontology, centered on monotheism.
