Journal Title: International Journal of Psycho-Educational Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
This study aims to research an in-depth study of how the teaching practice in a teacher training program is carried out. Phenomenology, one of the qualitative research designs was used in this research. The participants were composed of 12 teacher training students, three practice teachers and three mentors. The interview form and the observation form developed by the researchers were used as the data collection tool in the research. Descriptive content analysis technique was used to analyze the data. According to results, derived from the analysis, 8 themes and 21 categories under these themes were obtained. Teaching practice provides experience to teacher candidates and teachers and mentors are expected to guide teacher candidates in an effective way. The greatest problem faced by teacher candidates in the process is that they have to join classes except their bachelor degrees. In addition, the teacher candidates stated that they have so little time to practice in schools; thus the number of candidates per teacher should be decreased.
