Course Objectives: Prospective teachers need environments where they can apply the theoretical knowledge they learn in courses. For example, while subjects such as classroom management and assessment and evaluation are taught theoretically, it is also necessary to create practical application areas and observe school environments simultaneously. Additionally, acquiring knowledge from experienced authorities and professionals will better prepare prospective teachers for the teaching profession and help them establish more effective instructional relationships regarding in-school practices. Within this scope, this course aims to provide prospective teachers with opportunities to create practical applications for their theoretical courses, observe in-school practices, and gain insights from experienced professionals such as teachers and school principals.
