Abstract

This research study was conducted in order to determine the performances of the mathematics teacher candidates in the practice schools. In the spring semester of 2006-2007, the nine teacher candidates, In Yuzuncu Yil University Education Faculty Primary Mathematics Teacher Program, compose the sample of the study. It determined the basic attitudes which teacher training courses aim to be gained, than teacher candidates were observed in the practice schools, and finally it was applied to the ideas and suggestions of the teacher candidates and the practice teachers. The results show that however teacher candidates have benefited from the practice studies in different ways, the level of benefiting will be better if the practice teachers and lecturers approach consciously to the subject.
