     Purposes of practicum

     The main objective of the teaching practicum is to provide student teachers with authentic  hands-on experience in teaching. This is required to develop their teaching skills and to start collecting experiences to enrich their professional wisdom.   It is not enough to read about teaching or to observe others teach, something students have done for years. Student teachers have to practice themselves because practical knowledge and wisdom are held by the individual and cannot easily be transmitted from person to person.
