Student Teacher’s Reflections on the Internship Teaching Practice of a Teacher Education Program

Abstract

The internship plays an important role in completion of any professional courses. The successful completion of professional courses depends greatly on the internship. As a result, it is also covered in teacher training courses. It gives students first hand exposure to the numerous responsibilities of a teacher, such as instructing and improving topic knowledge. Additionally, it offers a chance to apply theoretical understanding of techniques, methods, and teaching aids in a practical setting. Student Teachers begin to use their understanding of teaching and learning during their internship, integrating theory and practice. The internship will give student teachers the chance to critically analyse as they strive to make sense of their experiences and find their own voices and identities as Teachers. This is perhaps the most significant benefit. Being a master teacher is a lifelong process of improvement. The internship teaching practices gives student teachers the groundwork they need for future professional development. The findings and discussion demonstrate that with the correct supervision and support of school subject teachers and supervisors, trainee teachers have gained integrated teaching skills. Through the entire internship programme, they were incredibly satisfied.
