Abstract (2. Language):
This research is aimed to determine difficulties observed within the practice of Preschool Tutory (Preschool
Teaching). 4th grade students of Afyon Kocatepe University, department of Preschool Teaching, who
participated the practices of preceptorship within the academic year of 2010-2011, are also included for this
study. In order to detect what types of difficulties the candidates came across within the institutions where
practices are actualized, semi-constructed questions in an intercourse form involving different sub-dimensions
are prepared as a consequence of compositions the candidates wrote. For this research, case study as a
qualitative research method is appealed. Research data is collected through a direct intercourse with the
volunteering tutor candidates. The findings are evaluated via a depictive analysis, providing opportunity for
frequence calculation. As a result, what is declared clearly is that more than half of tutor candidates found out
in the institutions they had been having practice that the very first person seen by the students is the class
master, adequate information is not presented either by managers nor tutors, these seniors are not introduced
tı the children in any way. As for the classes, it is declared that the classes are quite small/narrow, the
instrumental resources are inadquate, and classes are over-loaded. As much as planning and practices, found
out is that the tutor’s inducement level is high, the candidate, responsible for the practice, does not have the
expectations that does not meet that of the class masters, and that evaluation criteria adopted (by them ) is
unstable.
