This study examines the challenges of integrating theoretical preparation with practical training in Colleges of
Education, focusing on the Faculty of Education in Tiji, University of Zintan. Using a descriptive-analytical
method, data were collected from 20 faculty members and 33 student teachers through structured questionnaires.
Results showed that both groups face difficulties in linking theory and practice, with faculty members reporting
higher role conflict (M = 3.70) than students (M = 3.39), a statistically significant difference (p = 0.013). The
dominance of theoretical content, limited administrative support, and short practicum periods contribute to this
gap. The study recommends curriculum redesign, better supervision, and investment in modern educational
laboratories to strengthen the connection between academic and professional preparation.
