Abstract
This study aims to examine the history of teaching practicum research in Japan after World War II and touch upon future directions of research in this field. To achieve these goals, we analyzed post-war teaching practicum research and divided them into three groups: past, present, and future. This analysis identified the following four issues: (1) A perspective of understanding the growth of student teachers from changes in students is lacking; (2) A perspective related to verification of teaching practicum outcomes is lacking; (3) Findings related to teaching practicum mentors have yet to be accumulated; (4) Findings related to coordination with schools, universities, and the Boards of Education have yet to be accumulated.
