The candidates, however, are encouraged by their observations of the use and applications of a wide variety of instructional approaches, the prevalence of a culture of a community of learners and co-operations, discipline systems, applications of technology and inspiring teachers’ professionalism and commitment to make differences in the lives of their students. Ways of addressing the observed challenges include measures of providing support staff and assistants to the classroom teacher, supplying classrooms with adequate resources, efforts to involve parents and guardians in the education of their children and in the affairs of schools, refocusing teacher education programs on those reported areas of challenges classroom teachers face, and ongoing in-service trainings and professional development programs for teachers.

AbstractWith increased emphasis on student achievement in schools, teacher education programs are challenged to meet the demand for highly effective teachers. Ensuring that pre-service teachers feel confident in their ability to teach, prompted one Midwestern University to implement an extended student teaching placement. The idea behind this endeavor was two fold; first to provide future teachers a more robust and diverse classroom experience; and secondly to provide more opportunities for students to get experience in high-risk school settings. There is very limited research on the impact of year-long student teaching on a teacher’s sense of efficacy. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of teacher candidates placed in a year-long student teaching placement to teacher candidates placed in a traditional one semester (16 week) placement. All teacher candidates completed a 24 questionTeachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scaleas well as nine demographic questions. The survey developed at Ohio State University by Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk Hoy (2001), measures teacher attitudes towards working with students, student engagement, instructional practices, and classroom management. Specifically, the questions represent essential tasks in teaching such as assessment, differentiating lessons for individual students, dealing with students with learning challenges, repairing student understanding, and encouraging student engagement and interest. The results of the study indicated that pre-service teacher candidates in a year-long student teaching placement were more satisfied with their ability to engage students and manage classroom behavior than their counterparts in a traditional one semester placement.

AbstractTeachers face dilemmas of different kinds in their everyday practice. It is therefore essential that teacher students become aware of the dilemmas they will face in their future profession. By integrating school practice in teacher education programs, students apply theoretical knowledge to classroom situations. In a project at a Swedish university campus, the students worked as teacher candidates one day a week at different primary schools during their first semester. The purposes were to make the teacher education at the campus sustainable by attracting more students, limiting the number of dropouts and improving the quality in the education. In the present study, it is of interest to identify the didactic dilemmas teacher students experience in classrooms with 6 to 12 year-olds. By analysing the students’ written reports, the results indicate that the students’ identified dilemmas relate to classroom management, the lesson content and the establishing of relationships with the children.

This qualitative study aims to determine the opinions of music teacher candidates in Turkey on distant “Teaching Practice” courses during the Covid-19 pandemic. The participants of the study consist of 27 music teacher candidates, 18 female and nine male, studying in the last year (4th grade) of the music teaching department in the 2020-2021 academic year. The experiences gained in the course, the advantages and disadvantages of the process, the problems encountered and solution suggestions were determined through a semi-structured interview form. The data were analysed by content analysis. Music teacher candidates stated that they learned how to create virtual course content and design material, learned distant classroom and time management, gained the ability to communicate remotely and gained self-confidence. While providing ease/comfort, financial savings, opportunity to repeat the course, ensuring the continuation of education, preventing virus spread, time/place flexibility, strengthening technological know-how, strengthening theoretical knowledge, reducing the excitement factor, and providing remote monitoring were considered as advantages of the distance education process by music teacher candidates, limited communication, unreliable assessment and evaluation, limited time and activities, Not being suitable for applied fields, leading to mental laziness, and lack of sense of reality were considered as disadvantages. Inability to provide classroom management and discipline, ineffective teaching, lack of communication, technical problems, lack of music lesson materials, students’ indifference, and not participating actively in the lesson are encountered in the distance teaching practice course. For the process to be carried out in a better way, music teacher candidates made suggestions such as compulsory attendance, reliable assessment and evaluation, creating micro-groups, diversifying music activities, designing fun activities, course content, and materials, troubleshooting technical problems, cooperation, assessment of students’ requests and attitudes, providing psychological support, and accelerating the transition to face-to-face education.

The purpose of the two-teacher primary teaching model is to find a solution, to some extent, for the crowded classes and the classes in which the inclusive students study in primary school. Furthermore, it is aimed to increase the efficiency of the lessons, better take care of the inclusive students, implement the constructivist approach as required, collect the attention of the students who lost their attentions, support students who have difficulties in their studies, ensure that students who learn slowly can learn the lessons completely and increase the quality of education by giving additional studies to the students who learn quickly. The co-teaching model that can be considered as an alternative in solution of the educational problems can be used effectively in the crowded classes and the classes in which the inclusive students study. Moreover, this study can be considered as an alternative model so that the "Teaching Practice" lessons taken by the teacher candidates studying at the education faculty can be more qualified and efficient.The purpose of this study is to review the effectiveness of teaching practice in primary school based on co-teaching model. In this context, it was tried to determine the opinions of primary school teachers about the co-teaching model. To achieve this purpose, 12 primary teachers serving in the city center of Muş were determined as working group. In the study, the data were obtained by semi-structured interview method. Content analysis was used for the analysis of the data.According to the teachers' opinions obtained as a result of the study, the most important one of the problems experienced by the teachers during the teaching period is the crowded classes. It is concluded that in the crowded classes, the activities are not implemented at the desired level, it is not possible to allocate enough time for the students, incorrect and incomplete learning of students cannot be realized on time and it is difficult to give a student-centered education.As a result of the study, in order to ensure that the teaching practice can be efficient, it is concluded that the internship duration should be extended, the teacher candidates should be assigned more responsibilities, the teacher candidates should do internships in the rural schools and combined classes so that they can see different environments and they should carry out implementation-oriented studies rather than observation-oriented studies in this lesson.According to the teachers' opinions obtained as a result of the study, it is concluded that the co-teaching model will increase the efficiency of the lesson, the classroom management will be easier, this model will ensure that the students who fall behind and learn slowly can learn the lessons completely, the saving on time will be ensured, the opportunity to take care of students personally will increase, the workload of the teachers will decrease, the equal opportunity in education will be ensured by taking care of the inclusive students more than before and the faster and more practical solutions will be created for the problems to be encountered in the teaching process.
