Analysis of Difficulties Faced by B.Ed. Students during School Internship
Author : Dr. Jyoti Ramesh Singh
Abstract :
This study investigates the primary challenges faced by B.Ed. student-teachers during their mandatory school internships. Using a descriptive survey of 100 interns, the research identifies heavy administrative workload (lesson planning) and supervision anxiety as the most significant stressors, with mean scores exceeding 4.3/5.0.
Key findings reveal that classroom management remains a major pedagogical hurdle, while rural interns face significantly higher logistical difficulties. The study concludes that the internship is currently viewed more as an endurance test than a learning phase. Recommendations include digitizing lesson records, implementing zonal school allotments, and shifting toward a more supportive, growth-oriented supervision model.
