Öğretmen adaylarına öğretmenlik uygulaması dersinin sürecini değerlendirecekleri 5 soru ve bu derse yönelik önerilerde bulunacakları bir soru sorulmuştur. Verilerin analizinde betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler doküman haline getirilmiş, temalar ve alt temalar halinde her bir araştırmacı tarafından ayrı ayrı kodlanmıştır. Yapılan kodlamalar karşılaştırılarak uzlaşılmıştır. Veriler katılımcıların doğrudan ifadelerine de yer verilerek yorumlamıştır.
