Özet:

This study aims to determine Turkish teacher candidates' views on the distance "Teaching Practice" course. The research was carried out with the "case study" pattern, one of the qualitative designs. The study group was selected by purposive sampling method. The research study group consists of seven teacher candidates, six female and one male, who attended the "Teaching Practice" course in the spring term of 2020-2021. They are 4th-grade students who study at the Turkish Language Teaching Department at Düzce University. The focus group interview technique was used in data collection. Data were analyzed with the content analysis approach. At the end of the research, it was concluded that the pre-service teachers aimed to gain knowledge and skills in method and technique, communication with students, and classroom management. However, they developed low expectations about course planning and generally had low self-efficacy perceptions. They did not prepare a term plan, and the objectives were not generally compatible with the program. They sometimes did not prepare a course plan and activities, and the activities sometimes were not compatible with the objectives. Teacher candidates generally used the textbook as a material. The participation of the students in the course was generally low.
