“…Darling-Hammond et al (2002) showed that teachers felt better prepared for their profession if they completed structured academic studies as compared to alternative educational programs that were not university-based. Ronfeldt and Reininger (2012) found that student teachers who rated the quality of their student teaching higher also felt better prepared for teaching. Researchers identified the level of structure and coherence (DarlingHammond, Hammerness, Grossman, Rust, & Shulman, 2005;Garet, Porter, Desimone, Birman, & Suk Yoon, 2001), an effective linking between theory and practice (Ball & Cohen, 1999;Cheng, Tang, & Cheng, 2012;Zeichner, 1990Zeichner, , 2010, and the collaboration of student peers (Baeten & Simons, 2014;Hudson, Miller, Salzberg, & Morgan, 1994) as relevant features of teaching internships.…”
