Abstract

Practicum experiences are an integral part of teacher education programs. This study drew on perceptions of stakeholders (preservice teachers, cooperating teachers, and university professors) to examine the strengths and weaknesses of two practicum models of an early childhood teacher education program. Findings showed that preservice teachers, regardless of varied experiences due to practicum structures, experienced stress and confidence boosts during the practicum. Our findings may provide insights for those designing practicum experiences for preservice teachers.

幼儿职前教师的替代实习经验

摘要

实习经历是教师教育计划的一个组成部分。本研究借鉴了利益相关者（职前教师、合作教师和大学教授）的看法，以检验幼儿教师教育计划的两种实习模式的优缺点。调查结果表明，无论实习结构不同，职前教师的经历如何，在实习期间都经历了压力和信心的提升。我们的发现可能为那些为职前教师设计实习经历的人提供见解。
