abstract = {This article examines student teacher perceptions regarding the benefits of the
teacher education practicum. For this purpose, a cross-sectional study was
performed using a questionnaire. Participants consisted of 455 students from the
Early Childhood and Primary Education Degrees studying at a university in the
Madrid community. The questionnaire was administered between the academic
years of 2017/2018 and 2021/2022 (2019/2020 was excluded due to the pandemic),
at the end of each practicum period of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year courses of the
distinct teaching student cohorts. Results were analyzed based on a quantitative
perspective, revealing relevant benefit and utility profiles, confirming that the
variable that most modulates student perception is the Practicum period (finding
lower scores for the intermediate practicum), followed by the gender variable, and
finally, the Degree variable, which has the most stable results. These findings are
discussed, highlighting certain proposals to improve teaching practicum programs,
and to encourage a better knowledge of the teaching practicum in terms of its
benefits and usefulness, considering the teacher candidate perspective.},
