In this paper, we identify the prerequisites for teacher educators in Southeast Asia through a comparative analysis of the content of open recruitment documents for teacher educators in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. We employ the four-step comparative analysis method (Bereday, 1964), which is appropriate for interpreting educational phenomena (Manzon, 2014). We conducted a comparative analysis of teacher educators’ open recruitment documents between 2018 and 2021 in their respective countries. Upon tabulating the information, we found that teacher educators are required to have a master’s degree or higher, English language skills, teamwork, and professional ethics. However, experience as a schoolteacher is not required in Thailand or Vietnam but is necessary for Cambodia. Consequently, Thailand and Vietnam face challenges in guiding teaching practice, and Cambodia requires action research training.本研究は JSPS 科研費 JP20K20831の助成を受けたものです
