Case Study on The Implementation of Student Teachers' Practicums Based on a Blended Model

In order to improve the quality of student teachers` practicum, this study analysed the current situation of student teachers` field practice in child care centers. The study also assessed the practicum implementation case of H Cyber University. First, this research examined the characteristics of practicum implementation in universities. Second, a variety of strategies based on a blended model, on/off-line lectures, professor-student interaction, university-daycare centers collaboration, e-mentoring, and student teachers` portfolios that reduce the problems of student teachers` training, were explored. Finally, the practicum implementation case that adopted these factors was assessed. The results from this case study implied that student teachers` practicums based on a blended model can be an alternative method for problem-solving in existing student teachers` training in universities.
