It is a known fact that student interns lack the skills and capability to perform
with success the role of a teacher. They experience problems and difficulties as regards

Thus, for teachers to play their role effectively in schools there must be a well-

that aims at producing teachers who are academically qualified, professionally skilled,
and attitudinally and ethically committed to their profession. The teacher’s character and

The broad goal of student intern is that the students have the best possible
introduction to the teaching field. Major responsibility rests with the cooperating teacher
to set reasonable and specific objectives befitting the individual ability and development
of the student intern. According to Akbar (2008), there are many objectives of practice
student potential as a teacher and suitability for the teaching profession, to provide with
educational principles and their implication for learning, and to provide for the exchange
of ideas and methods between practicing school and teacher training institution, by
teacher training institutions’ staff and students, perceiving new ideas material and
equipment in use in practicing schools and introducing new ideas, material and
equipments into the school. It is assumed that the cooperating teacher will guide the
student through a variety of experiences ranging from the practice of basic teaching
goals and objectives after observing the student in a classroom teaching situation.
The student intern experiences is designed to give the student a full time
requires that the student’s total scholastic effort be devoted to the student intern
experience. There are no other college course responsibilities during this time period.
Specifically, the student will: a.) Observe and teach for a minimum period of 12
weeks during the first or second semester of the senior year. Students may elect to
student teach as post-graduates; b.) Create and teach from lesson plans made under
the supervision of a licensed public or private school teacher; c.) Gradually assume
responsibility for teaching from three to four classes a day during this period. (Teaching
load may vary in relationship to the subject being taught and the school schedule.); d.)
Be responsible for administrative duties associated with these classes. This should
include attendance reports and other routine duties previously handled by the
cooperating teacher; e.) Assume responsibility for the grading of students in assigned
classes; f.) Construct, administer, correct, and grade examinations for classes being
taught; g.) Visit with administrative personnel and special education teachers about the
total educational system; h.) Assume duties in addition to daily classes. This could
include study hall, small group tutoring, or whatever is deemed necessary to make the

aspirations of their students, and in acquiring the basic teaching skills in making a
critical analysis of the various problems related to teaching. Their practice teaching
experiences will help them develop their competencies in teaching as well as their social
skills. It is a known fact that student teachers lack the skills and capability to perform
with success the role of a teacher. They experience problems and difficulties as regards
teachers and community adjustment and others. Problems which confront them require
urgency and importance to minimize their prevalence to make them develop and sustain
self-efficacy thus perform with quality and excellence. Success in teaching internship
depends largely on the student-interns personal and social qualities (Beltran, 2009). The
success also relies on how well cooperating teachers trained student-interns how to
teach effectively, manage classroom discipline and other related functions. During the
teaching internship phase, the student intern develops either a genuine love for or an
aversion for teaching. This explains why cooperating teachers who are assigned to assist
the student intern should possess competencies that are necessary for developing the
teaching skills of the student interns (Laruan, 2007). Laruan (2007) has identified the
problems and difficulties student interns encountered during their off campus. These

Conclusion
In view of the findings, researchers have drawn these conclusions that the
secondary student interns of West Visayas State University Janiuay – Campus
experienced different struggles during their practice teaching. First, the pandemic. They
were not given that opportunity to teach the students because of the pandemic. They
only have experience teaching face to face for two weeks and students who returned to
school are limited. Second, they have experienced difficulties in adjusting to their new
environment because the situation they experienced inside their classroom when they
are in college is absolutely different when they are on the actual field.
Finally, despite these struggles they experience, this study found that the
student teachers learned many lessons that can be applied to their profession as
teachers. Experience is a key factor of becoming an effective teacher someday.
Recommendation
before they were deployed to their respective schools where they were assigned. They
should learned to use their time in a productive way in order for them to create better
ideas and critical thinking skills that will help them to teach effectively. They should be
responsible in all their actions and be dedicated to all the task given by their cooperating
teacher. As a student interns they need to be aware of what is happening in the real
situation in the actual field of teaching. Student interns laid down some of the solutions
and ways to cope with and address some issues and challenges they had in their own
The cooperating teachers should know and be aware of the various problems
faced by the student interns during their teaching internship. They should only give task
that the student interns can do and can manage. Cooperating teachers should monitor,
help, and teach them how to develop teaching materials to be used in class. In the
