The study aimed to scrutinize the practice course exam and the exam questions in Darulmuallim- the first teacher training institution in Turkish education history. In the study, the nature of the theoretical basis of today's teaching practices was also considered by shedding light on the past. The study was carried out via document analysis design, one of the qualitative research methods. The two texts published in Tedrisat Journal in 1912 and 1913, published by the teachers of Darulmuallim, were the main data sources of the study. The data were analyzed through the document analysis method. The content of the questions asked in the teaching practice course in 1912 and the distribution by subject, the application of the practice exam and the evaluation process constituted the main data sources of the study. As a result of the study, it was found that in the teaching practice exams in Darulmuallim, senior students told a topic they chose with lots in the practice school. The results revealed that the assessment of the exam was carried out by the pre-service teacher, classmates and the practice lesson teacher via discussion method.
