- Abstract
The purpose of the study was to explore; how much the teacher educators give importance to different practices, processes, and regulations of practicum?, what are the communication and coordination issues among the practicum participants?, what are the participants' perceptions about the value for practicum in teacher education programmes?, and to identify participants' discernment about their own and each others' roles and expectations. Descriptive survey was used to investigate the problem. From six campuses of the University of Education (UE), 59 teacher educators were selected randomly. All the processes, practices, and regulations of practicum were regarded important giving the highest rank to written communication followed by collaborative practices and the lowest to duration of practicum. The participants gave due importance to practicum while they were unclear about each others' roles during practicum. Overall they expressed dissatisfaction for the current model of practicum.
