Teacher education students (TESs) face barriers to practicing in school-based interdisciplinary instruction programs (SbIIPs), and chief among these are time and space constraints and the COVID-19 pandemic. Teacher educators can invite expert teachers and integrate synchronous videoconferencing into project-based learning (PBL) to advise TESs during SbIIPs. This study developed a strategic program to integrate videoconferencing into PBL and explored the performance of TESs in PBL and the effectiveness and feasibility of SbIIPs for teacher education. A total of 14 TESs enrolled in the course. The analytical results regarding performance in PBL demonstrated that, at first, the TESs exhibited a high willingness to face challenges; however, because of unfamiliarity with PBL, TESs perceived stress once engaged in the program. The expert teachers provided online guidelines and collectively identified situational problems for the TESs, thereby helping them to gradually understand PBL. The TESs achieved mastery in the SbIIPs and revealed positively with high perceived participation in PBL. The experts' online guidelines were crucial to ensuring high learning effectiveness, and the program was determined to be feasible for teacher education. This study contributes to the field of teacher education by providing an alternative to practicing instruction in real-life school environments for TESs. |
