“…Studies have shown that pre-service teachers remain more passive while taking the teaching practicum course than they are while taking the teaching practice course although the teaching practicum course is more effective in terms of introducing pre-service teachers to the school environment and contributing to their professional development (Yüksel, & Kırçiçek, 2019;Yıldırım et al, 2019;Orhan, & Arseven, 2019;Selvi et al, 2017;Dönmez Usta & Turan Güntepe, 2016;Kavas, & Bugay, 2009). Moreover, in some other studies, it has been revealed that through the teaching practice course, pre-service teachers get more accustomed to the profession (Aslan & Sağlam, 2017), learn about how to solve problems and are introduced to alternative ways of solution (Esen Aygün & Şahin Taşkın, 2019) and gain experience and self-confidence (Başal et al, 2017;Baran et al, 2015).…”
