Abstract

The important challenge of internship in Farhangian University is the lack of a clear theoretical framework and its practical plan; For this purpose, the theory, its dimensions and stages are drawn. Internship is a program for the professional development of teachers, based on theory and supervision, and it aims to bridge the gap between opinion and practice. The purpose of this research also is to investigate the basis, logic and skills of internships 1 to 4 in Farhangian University. The research method is descriptive-analytical, its approach is qualitative and the type of research is also the documentary. In this survey, the headlines of each internship, lesson introduction and its logic, learning opportunities, lesson content and its structure, teaching and learning strategies, educational resources and learning evaluation strategies have been reviewed. Afterwards, the internship program manual of Farhangian University, including competencies, skills and different levels, has been analyzed. The findings of the research show that the internship of Farhangian University has strong theoretical and practical foundations and the basis of its movement is the reflection and training of reflective teachers, but the theoretical exploration is not powerful and skills necessary to do this important thing are not available.
