Considering the fact that there is quite a difference between prospective teachers' entering and exiting perceptions and beliefs about teaching as a profession, there exists a need to provide new insight into the reasons causing this difference. The findings indicate that field experiences gave the prospective teachers the opportunity to modify their self-perceptions about teaching careers.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessProspective Teacher BeliefsProspective Teacher PerceptionsTeaching PracticumTeacher Education ProgramsNegative ExperiencesArticle12319641973WOS:000309197300015Q4
