Abstract

To determine the level of perception of B.Ed. trainees toward the internship, which is a required component of their educational experiences at a teacher training institution, the current research set out to determine the level of perception of B.Ed trainees toward the internship. In order to achieve the goal, a quantitative descriptive research was conducted. There were 94 B.Ed Trainees from a teacher education institution in the Tamilnadu district of Tiruchirappalli who took part in the study. The descriptive research made use of a tool that had been created by the investigator. The instrument was originally comprised of 50 statements in the pilot phase, which were then verified using a "t" test to determine their validity. The tool's dependability and validity have been proven, and it is now in use. During the final tool's development, 24 items were rejected and 26 items were retained. According to the findings, B.Ed students have generally an average perception regarding internships in general.
