The Practicum in the Degree of Primary Education (Asturian): The perspective of students

This paper analyses the perception of students of the Asturian Language Mention in Primary Education Degree at University of Oviedo (Spain) during this internship as practitioners in Asturian schools. The sample was composed by 106 students and the research instrument was a 68-item questionnaire. Data was processed with SPSS and variance analysis was performed to measure the impact of the variables considered. The main results show an acceptable level of satisfaction, although weaknesses are identified in relation to the Practicum organisation, the actors involved in the process or the evaluation criteria. These results confirm that sex, age, type of school, geographical area or experience compared to other Practicum have influence on the perception of students.
