Introduction

Practice teaching is an important component towards becoming a


teacher. It provides experiences to student teachers in the actual teaching
and learning environment. During teaching practice, a student-teacher is
given the opportunity to try the art of teaching before actually getting into
the real world of the teaching profession. Student-teachers also know the
value of teaching practice and they perceive it as the important aspect of
their preparation for the teaching profession since it provides for the real
interface between student hood and membership of the profession
(Rakesh Ranjan, 2013).
Teachers play an important role in shaping the future of individuals as
well as of entire generations. They can also influence the economic
dynamism of the country by imparting skills that translate into innovation
and productivity in the workplace (Goldhaber and Anthony, 2004).
Because of the current changing and challenging world, teachers should
be provided with a range of skills, knowledge, attitudes and relevant
educational experience that enable them to cope up with the challenge.
Internship education has emerged as a vital component in the
professional and pre-professional training programs available in many, if
not most, institutions of higher education today. Such internship
education or field- based education is different in its very nature from
traditional academic learning for both students and faculty members and
thus will require different roles and yield different benefits than on-
campus academic learning situations. It is vital to understand these
differences in roles, for such an understanding will enhance the internship
education process and maximize its benefits to all concerned.
