Teacher candidates observe how instructional arrangements are made by teachers for special educational needs, match their existing knowledge and have ideas about the practices that are being made. It is observed that in special education institutions, there are differences in practice among teachers. This can lead to teacher candidates' training of teachers with incomplete information. In this context, it is necessary to put forward opinions about the educational arrangements made in institutions in order to train teacher candidates as qualified teachers. In this study, it was aimed to obtain the views of the prospective teachers about the instructional practices of the teachers in the institutions. This study is a qualitative research in case study model. In the study, interviews were made with 8 teacher candidates selected for the purpose of carrying out their practices in three special educational institutions affiliated to TRNC Ministry of National Education. In the study, data were gathered from interviews consisting of semi-structured questions from qualitative data collection methods and analyzed by content analysis. The findings of the research are as follows; (a) individualized education program, (b) individualized teaching plan, (c) use of materials, (d) teaching environment, (e) evaluation process, (f) disability groups, (g) interdisciplinary practices, (i) different views on the arrangements made in relation to the time spent in the teaching process. Based on the results of the research, it can be suggested that the application areas in which the theoretical knowledge of the candidate teacher can be transformed into the application environment in the teaching practices and the cooperation of the teacher candidates with the teachers in the institution can be suggested in order to increase the quality of the teaching application courses.
