The feasibility of the questionnaires was analyzed by way of Descriptive Statistics, Independent Sample T Test, and One Way Analysis of Variance.
The conclusions from this study are:
1. Organizations that execute Elementary School Internship lack Certifications,
Evaluations, Reward Measures, and administrative department that specialize inthis duty.
2. The lack of Certifications, Trainings, Reward Measures, and Team Operation for the Interns.
3. The schedules and training programs of Elementary School Internship are not complete and explicit.
4. The lack of Interactive team discussion and Problem-oriented learning manners.
5. Assessment items, tools, and the applications from the results of Elementary School Internship are not comprehensive.

7. The innovations of the Elementary School Internship focus on systems, whereas those of Medical Internship focus on programs and teaching.
8. Among the 46 questions, the levels of agreement of 40 of them are higher than the average levels. It means that the manner is feasible.
9. Among all the questions, higher level of agreement falls on Organizational Structure and Grade Assessment.
10. For different school types, educational backgrounds and seniorities, levels of agreement from these intern teachers are apparently diverse. Among them, the level of agreement from affiliated experimental elementary school is higher than that of normal elementary schools. Educational backgrounds of the teachers of Teacher¡¦s College are higher than that of other teachers from other universities. Seniority which is over 21 is higher than that of other teachers of other schools.
Suggestions of these conclusions are:
1.Certifications, Evaluations, Reward Measures, and administrative department that specialize in Elementary School Internship should be established.
2. Certifications, Trainings, Reward Measures, and Team Operation should be
established for the Interns.
3. Educational Internships for homeroom and subject teachers of different grades should last for one year. The duration of Administrative Internships should be shortened.
4. Unified Assessment standards and items should be established. The results of the assessment should relate Teacher¡¦s Qualification Examinations.
5. Interactive team discussion and Problem-oriented learning manners should be reinforced in the Internship Programs of Teacher Education Colleges
6.Teacher¡¦s Qualification Examinations should be altered as National Examinations, and executed as Two-tier Assessments. The first examination can be the ¡§Pre-internship¡¨ written tests, and the second stage can be situational teaching assessment such as ¡§Post-internship¡¨ interviews, and teaching demonstrations.
In conclusion, in accordance with the above-mentioned conclusions and suggestions, the researcher proposed the innovative model ¡§Medical Internship should be applied to Elementary School Internship¡¨ as the reference of Elementary School Internship reform in Taiwan.
