Analysis of The Educational Practicum Difficulties of Preschool Teacher Training Students Under the Cooperative Education

Abstract

The study investigates the difficulties faced by preschool teacher training students during their educational practicum. A qualitative research was used, involving a non-quantitative questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, including a sample of 100 three-year preschool interns, who were asked to report on their problems and difficulties encountered during the practicum. The findings reveal a range of issues related to the imperfect cooperative education system, including inadequate depth of cooperation between the practicum sites and teacher training colleges, as well as an unreasonable pathway for implementation. We need to strengthen the depth of cooperation between the practicum sites and teacher training colleges to help the student teachers get through their educational practicum successfully.
