Abstract

The internship curriculum of the Farhangian University has been implemented since 2014. The program employs more than 12% of the training time and seeks to provide the opportunity to experience the application of theoretical knowledge in practical situations. The question is: “what experience has the student covered under this two-year program?” In this article, we seek to review the experience of the students, the first turn of the program, through an interview with 11 students, and a picture of the effects of the internship program. The experience of this group shows that the new program of internship has been "effective" and has been able to satisfy the students’ expecttaions, increase their competence and help shape and improve their teacher's identity. However, the implementation of the internship program is faced with a number of problems, including the lack of training of the brokers which could be purposefully improved.
