The current study presents perceptions of student teachers during their internship period, regarding various aspects of teaching and components of the teacher education program they were about to complete. The findings are based on structured questionnaires and an open question. The findings can illuminate the relationship between the teacher education program and the teacher's professional world. In addition, the study reveals the world of the novice teacher, including self-efficacy in teaching, content and pedagogical knowledge, and motivation to engage in teaching as a profession.
