Student teachers’ experiences in teaching practice using team teaching in flexible learning space

Abstract

Team teaching and flexible learning spaces (FLS) have been widely under discussion recently. This article discusses the student teachers' experiences of teaching practice when they implement it by using team teaching in FLS. According to the results, team teaching is a significant experience in teaching practice and the student teachers face both positive and negative experiences. In addition, the team-teaching-based teaching practice in FLS increases especially their knowledge about the role of learning environments as well as classroom management skills. Team teaching experience has a clear relevance to the personal professional development of student teachers.
