Abstract: The rapid digitalisation of education, the expansion of artificial intelligence, and the global shift towards competence-based pedagogies have fundamentally transformed the priorities of modern teacher education systems. This study aims to develop a multi-level analytical framework for evaluating the quality of teacher education by integrating global policy models, national education reforms in Azerbaijan, and institutional practices at Azerbaijan State Pedagogical University (ASPU). A qualitative-analytical research design was employed based on document analysis of international frameworks (OECD, UNESCO, World Bank, ESG, CAEP), national strategic policy documents, and institutional quality assurance instruments at ASPU. The findings indicate that teacher education quality is shaped through the interaction of five core dimensions: digital competence, research-oriented pedagogy, personalised learning design, outcome-based curricula, and sustainable internal quality assurance mechanisms. At the national level, Azerbaijan's education reforms demonstrate a strong transition towards competence-based governance, professional accountability, and digital transformation. At the institutional level, ASPU operationalises these reforms through PDCA-based quality assurance, STEAM-integrated teacher training, digital learning platforms (LMS, Moodle, virtual laboratories), and multi-criteria academic staff evaluation systems. The study concludes that digitalisation and AI alone do not guarantee improved teaching quality; their effectiveness depends on institutional culture, leadership capacity, professional development ecosystems, and transparent quality indicators. The ASPU case confirms that future-oriented teacher education requires systemic coherence, strong governance, and a sustained culture of quality.
