Currently, it has become a consensus of the world education reform to promotethe teacher’s professional development. Our country attaches great importance to theteacher’s professional development all the time. Teaching practice is a significant partof pre-service teacher’s professional development as well as an important way fornormal colleges to bring up qualified teachers. Nevertheless, with various drawbacks,traditional teaching practice is always ineffective. In-Post teaching practice, which isone of the results of the educational practice mode reform, is gradually approved bymore and more normal colleges. While, as an emergent practice mode, how In-Postteaching Practice affects the professional development of normal school students;whether it has positive effect or not,to which extent the affect is and what the factorsare——all these problems are to be further studiedAccording to that cognition, the research takes X normal university for samplestudy. Based on the theory of teachers’ professional development, the text has built theconnotation of normal students’ professional development and the structure of normalstudents’ professional quality and then, drew up questionnaire together with interviewoutline. By conducting questionnaire and interviewing normal students who comeback to school after internship, I have found that although In-Post teaching practicedid promote normal students’ professional development effectively, the practicaleffect is about to be promoted. The best progress is professional affect, whileprofessional knowledge and professional competence followed. What have maindifferences on normal students’ professional development are the willing to In-Postteaching Practice, the pre-service training, the amount of attending and having a class,and freedom of internship as well.Finally, the problems we have found existed in In-Post teaching practice aftersurveying and interviewing are: the guidance of internship instructors and themanagement of pre-service training are not perfect enough; normal students’ lack of the capacity of education and research; the need of teaching conditions and internshiptreatment. And then we put forward suggestions to improve the In-Post teachingpractice and normal students’ professional development deliberately.
