Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 體育學系 === 101 === Teaching practice program provides student teachers an opportunity to put theory into practice through interacting with other people in field teaching context firstly, helping them grow socially and preparing for understanding educational practice in advance. The study focused on student teachers’ teaching field experiences which they experienced at the internship phase. The study involved semi-structured interviews, participant observation and document analysis. Results of the study showed: First, the student teachers experienced teaching time processes, classroom management, instructional design, skills, confidence and ability to cope with emergency, and they progressed while their experiences increased; Second, student teachers’ teaching field experiences were impacted by individual learning reflection, students, mentors, peers, and teaching environmental, varied with their personal traits and different contexts; third, during field teaching, student teachers confronted the gap between Theory and Practice, differences of sport characteristics and lesson plans as remind instrument, and the process to find and solve problems can effectively promote professional growth. Based on these results, we recommend that student teachers can consolidate education and professional knowledge for understanding their teaching styles, mentors’ leading way, student ability and practice environment early; organizations of teacher education have to focus on field teaching experiences to avoid the gap between theory and practice; the future research can use both quality and quantity methods, or add different objects, providing information on different perspectives to deepen research contents.
