Analysis Of Results

The current study aimed to collect relevant feedback on teaching practice effectiveness in relation to the tutors, students’ engagement in teaching practice, as well as self-reflection regarding necessary competences for a primary school teacher. Pedagogical activities within the teaching practice have considered: students’ online attendance to the classes held by the primary teacher, filling in an observation form regarding the lessons taught, mentorship session for analyzing the lessons along with the teachers, drafting a psycho-pedagogical record for a pupil, filling a form on reviewing the student’s performance and implication in the teaching practice. Having concluded the study’s results, we can now state that the teaching practice’s way of planning in the second school semester has proven efficient. The mentor-student / inter-student interaction has contributed to developing competences that a primary school teacher does require, through the feedback provided by the observation forms, as well as by involving students directly in the didactic activities, encouraging initiative and self-reflection. Objective analysis of results, suggestions, proposals, as well as difficulties encountered has made it possible to build a solid reference for future teaching practice – both online and in the classroom – and working towards improving it and all its partakers.

This study aimed to determine the perceptions of primary school teacher candidates about the Turkish education system, school, teacher, and student concepts by means of metaphors. The study group consisted of 82 primary school teacher candidates enrolled in the senior class of a university in the Black Sea Region in Turkey in 2018. The study data were collected using a questionnaire which involved gap filling questions aiming to determine the metaphors for the Turkish education system, school, teacher, and student. Findings indicated that the majority of the primary school teacher candidates had a negative perception of the Turkish education system. More than half of the negative metaphors that the participants used were about the unceasing change of the system. Primary school teacher candidates' perceptions of the school concept were mostly positive. The participants saw school as a home that educates and shapes people. Nevertheless, a considerable number of the participants considered school like an oppressive and uniformizing prison, where they would not like to be. Majority of the primary school teacher candidates had positive perceptions of the teacher concept. Nonetheless, there were neutral and negative perceptions as well. The participants mostly emphasized the educating and shaping characteristics of the teacher concept in their descriptions. Although primary school teacher candidates’ perceptions of student were generally positive, a student description, in which student was seen passive in the learning process and highlighted as an entity that can be shaped, stood out.
