This study was conducted to determine the inadequate professional qualifications of
advisor teachers. Employing a qualitative approach, we studied the question “what are
your observations regarding the professional qualifications of the advisor teachers during
the teaching practicum?” with senior students in various programs such as Turkish,
English, mathematics, painting, music and primary school teaching at the Faculty of
Education of a small-scale state university in central Turkey. Analyzing the observations
of the prospective teachers, we identified seven aspects of inadequate qualifications: (1)
professionalism, (2) classroom management, (3) communication, (4) professional
development, (5) personality, (6) creating a democratic classroom environment, and (7)
usage of instructional material and technology. In terms of professionalism, the analysis
yielded that some of the inadequate qualifications are favoring some students over to
others and not having the ability to solve problems. With regard to classroom
management, the most frequent inadequate qualifications are not taking individual
differences into consideration and not being able to ensure student participation to
lectures. Regarding communication, lack of communication among educational
shareholders and negatively criticizing students are mostly mentioned by student
teachers. Based on the findings of the study, we suggest that educational authorities
provide in-service training sessions to teachers to work on these problems so that the
quality of instruction would increase in schools.
