Özet

This research aimed to evaluate the practices of the fourth grade students in the Teaching Practice Course based on their self-reports. The study was designed as a survey study and used quantitative methods. Participants of the research consisted of 156 fourth-grade students studying at Ankara University, Faculty of Educational Sciences in the 2018–2019 academic year. The data collection instrument was the Teaching Practice Course Lesson Planning and the Implemantation Situations Scale, developed by the researchers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic, one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference tests. Findings showed that the students' practice levels of instructional principles in the Teaching Practice Course were high. This result changed significantly based on the number of teaching practice attended in the course and the number of observation made by the school teacher. No significant difference was found in the number of observation done by the instructor. It was also found that, the more the students prepare lesson plans, the more they used instructional principles in the Teaching Practice Course.
