The purpose of this study was to explore the pre-service early childhood teacher`s experiences through
intern teaching in early childhood education focusing on reflective journal writing. As a result, two big
categories were identified : stories about teaching preparations and stories about teaching processes. The
pre-service teachers had difficulties in teaching procedures, interaction with children, understanding infants
and children’s development, motivation and teaching materials in the practicum experience. And they
wanted a guidance teacher to get some feedback about the lesson consultation, teaching procedures, and
interaction with children. The research showed that pre-service early childhood teachers learned about perspectives of children, basic life habits, teaching behavior and field trips by intern teaching in early
childhood education. The positive feed-back with emotional support of teacher and reaction of children
support reflective thinking and practical knowledge.
