School Internships in European Music Teacher Education.
Mapping Existing Formats, their Opportunities and Constraints
}, year = {Submitted}, abstract = {

School internships play an essential role in music teacher education (MTE), but knowledge about these internships on an international scale is sparse. This qualitative survey study presents detailed information about school internships in European MTE based on responses from music teacher educators at twenty-four institutions in seventeen European countries. Findings show that, despite differences between institutions and countries, the structure and content of school internships share many similarities. Broader variation was found in the types of assessment materials student teachers are required to complete, but these also remain generally congruent. The possibility for student teachers to complete a school internship abroad is inconsistent across institutions, and established practices for their organization and implementation are lacking. Opportunities for the further
development of domestic school internships are discussed, as are ways to facilitate school internships abroad.
