Abstract
The student teaching practicum is an important phase of a teacher education program. During the practicum, a dynamic relationship develops between the university, the cooperating teacher and the student teacher. After a review of literature a need was seen for examining this relationship from the cooperating teacher’s perspective. In this study, the researcher sought to reveal what professional teachers saw as benefits to them for their participation in the role of cooperating teacher for students in art education student teaching programs. To gain an understanding of what the perceived benefits were for art cooperating teachers, the researcher conducted a qualitative case study through interviewing three participants who had all served as art cooperating teachers for a large northeast Ohio university’s art education department. Responses to the open-ended questions conducted at the semi-structured interviews were coded for content analysis. Findings from the study reveal benefits, drawbacks and suggestions drawn from the data collected. It was concluded at the end of the study that art education cooperating teachers who serve this large northeast Ohio university gain societal, personal and concrete benefits, learn from their student teachers and achieve professional development through participation in the program. Suggestions for improvements in the student teaching practicum are given as well as implications for future research.
