The necessary recommendations were suggested in order to overcome those problems.

The questionnaire items were distributed on seven domains: lesson planning, lesson execution, classroom management, resources’ availability, supervision and guidance, principal’s cooperation, and teacher’s cooperation.

The study was conducted on a sample of (438) teacher trainees at the end of the first semester of the academic year 2005/2006.

The obtained data were analyzed statistically and indicated that the domain of "the availability of resources" got the first priority among other domains in term of problems; whereas, the domain of the teacher’s cooperation got the last rank.

This study showed the following results: 1- There were no significant differences as due to gender.

2- There were significant differences as due to the student’s specialization and to the programs of Education and Arabic language.

3- There were significant differences as due to the educational region, and namely to Nablus Educational Region.

The study recommended and emphasized the necessity for developing the Practical Education Program in light of the universal norms and standards in this field, as well as increasing the attention to the aspects by which it might be possible to overcome the problems which students face.
