שביעות הרצון של סטודנטים אשר מתנסים בהוראה לפי דגם ה- PDS מהעבודה המעשית ומהגורמים המעורבים בה

The study described in this article examined the assimilation of the teacher education program according to the PDS model at the Academic Arab College for Education in Israel – Haifa. The participants consisted of 83 students, 35 of whom were trained according to the teaching program based on the PDS model, and 48 of whom were trained according to the traditional model. The study examined the students' satisfaction from the practical training. The findings yielded by the interviews with the students belonging to the first group indicate the students' high degree of satisfaction with the practicum, its timetable, and its efficiency in making the most of the teaching days and the informal teaching activities in which they participated. The students reported a high degree of satisfaction with the cooperation between the pedagogical instructor and the mentor teachers. On the other hand, they expressed a medium degree of satisfaction with the extent of cooperation among them, the school principal, and the school teaching staff. The quantitative findings foreground obvious differences between the two groups as regards their satisfaction with the components involved in the partnership system.
