Özet

In 1997-1998, as a result of the efforts aimed at the reconstruction of the Faculties of Education, practical courses such as School Experience I-II and Teaching Practice were included in teacher training programs. In this context, a book entitled Faculty-School Cooperation was prepared in collaboration with The Council of Higher Education (COHE) and The World Bank and began to be used as a resource. However, during the application of the School Experience training course, as the students were lack of the necessary procedural and professional knowledge and equipment to enable them to observe, they encountered some problems and this training course was taken out from the teacher training programs. Thus, beginning from the 2007-2008 academic year, School Experience course was introduced in the 4th year 1st semester and Teaching Practice course in the 4th year 2nd semester. So, the necessity of the reorganization of the activities and explanations designed for School Experience I and II occurred. For these reasons, in this study, we prepared observation forms to improve the efficiency of School Experience training course which has been practiced in the 4th year 1st semester beginning from the 2007-2008 academic year and to help the prospective teachers to observe their activities more systematically during the application.
