The Internship Practicum and Guidebooks in Teacher Training: A Social Studies Teaching Model

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine the opinions of academicians teaching the internship practicum course at different universities and to examine the guidebooks used by universities according to set criteria. The sample consists of 17 academicians at 17 state universities. The data were collected using the qualitative research method and analysed with descriptive analysis. The results of the research have indicated that the academicians do not follow the pre-service teachers weekly and evaluate them according to the internship files and the opinions of their mentors. It has been also determined that the guidebooks used in the internship practicum are not field-specific.
