This study aims to examine the case of “teaching practices at school” provided by one graduate student without teaching experience in professional schools for teacher education. Based on interviews with Student S conducted after each of four practice sessions (10 weeks in total), the author analyzed how Student S considered their outcomes and issues.
As a result, it is inferred that conducting an action research field study at elementary schools with different cultures and student profiles played a significant role in helping Student S develop their skill. Student S also obtained a positive response to tutoring as T2 in the first practice and thus could take on “certain challenges” in a “secure atmosphere” as T1 in the second half of the training program. These experiences may also have proved effective.
