Abstract

This study sought to uncover pre-service teachers’ enrolled master’s degree program, concerns about their upcoming internships. The researchers used a photo elicitation method (Harper, 2002), with its roots in Photovoice (Wang, 1999) to unearth pre-service teacher concerns through photography, narratives and small group discussion. We found they were concerned about their ages, being overwhelmed, having enough time to plan, and managing the classroom. We also found they opened up to each other and us about the ways their personal beliefs guided them through this process.
