During teaching practice students should develop competences such as didactic competences, communication skills, and leadership qualities. The aim of present study was to research student teachers' perception of teaching competences’ development through teaching practice. The mentor role and duration of teaching training from students teacher view were also examined. The study was carried out by surveying 87 students from the 1st to the 4th grade. The sample consisted of student teachers without practical teaching experience (1st and 2nd grade) and student teachers with practical teaching experience (3th and 4th grade). The results revealed that the student teachers, who experienced practical teaching, on average evaluated their competence for different fields higher than students without teaching experience and that they more agreed that practical teaching training is more important for competence development, than theory.
