摘要
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prospective chemistry teachers' experiences of teaching practice. This study employed the phenomenological method. Six prospective chemistry teachers enrolled in teaching practice course were selected by intensity sampling. The results indicated that teaching practice course was crucial in prospective teachers' understanding and development of teaching profession. Interviewees said that teaching practice course caused them to be aware of their inadequacies in pedagogical content knowledge and characteristics of a good teacher. The findings of this study concluded that teaching practice is critical period for the prospective teachers in their development as a teacher. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
