Abstract
The teaching practice is designed to smooth the transition from teacher to student. At the same time the teaching practice assignment gives the teachers training institutions an opportunity to evaluate the students teaching capabilities. It is one of the most important components of the teacher training program. It is an opportunity for student teachers to put their theoretical studies into practice. There may be some inconsistencies between what has been learned in college or university and the actual situation in the classroom. The teaching practice exercise should help student teachers to integrate theory and practice. It is the responsibility of teacher education institutions to provide such learning experiences to student teachers that they may be able to identity, select and innovate organize such learning experiences which may develop competence in the student teachers to teach the course of their specialization on the one hand and recreational activities and social useful production work on the other hand.
