چکیده (انگلیسی):

Universities offering teacher education degrees are finding the world to be significantly smaller
than did previous generations. Increasingly, American students are completing their required
student teaching in foreign contexts. The present research study used rigorous qualitative
methods in order to appraise the affective experiences from a sample of 13 students who
completed their student teaching overseas. Results showed, affectively, students experienced a
bell-shaped curve phenomenon. Particularly, they underwent stages of excitement when entering
the teaching experience, followed by significant dysphoria, and then completed their student
teaching with a positive emotional set.
