Özet
The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of prospective teachers‟ first contact with
the teaching profession during their practising school attachments. The participants of the study were
101 prospective secondary school teachers at Dicle University in Turkey. The data were collected by
using both questionnaire and interview research tools. The frequency, percentage, average and factor
analysis techniques have been used for the analysis of quantitative data. The findings revealed that the
main problems faced by prospective teachers are students‟ unwanted behaviours, difficulties in class
management, and being treated indifferently by the school administrators and mentors. This situation
affects the approaches and motivations of the prospective teachers, and increases the tendency to
prefer another occupation than teaching after such practicing period. The prospective teachers
believed that university teacher education courses are too theoretical and disconnected from the real
world of the classrooms. The findings also show that the tutors, mentors, coordinators and school
administrators need training for a healthy cooperation and better teacher education.
