All sectors had to adapt to the new conditions called new-normal. Schools were also completely or partially closed during this period. Education services have begun to be provided at all levels with distance education tools. Practicum, an important component of teacher education, has also been moved to the digital environment. This study aims to delve into the experiences ofpreservice teachers who took the practicum course online during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was designed as phenomenological research and the data were collected through in-depth interviews with 13 preservice teachers. The phenomenological analysis yielded three themes in explaining participants’experiences of online practicum: adaptational gaps,fruitful challenges and realization of potential improvements. Implications of the findings with regard to planning ofpracticum process considering the next-normal were shared.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nAnnounced as a pandemic in March, 2020 (WHO, 2020), COVID-19 spread the whole world except for a few island countries in a short time. The pandemic imposed certain restrictions and hence regulation of a different lifestyle has emerged all over the world. This was named as new-normal. Unfortunately, schools have been closed as part of these restrictions over 180 countries. 1.64 billion students around the world have been affected by school closures (UNESCO, 2021) . The number of days schools were closed varied depending on the quality of distance education and class levels. Yet, according to the OECD Report,(OECD, 2021) schools were closed for an average of 60 days across all education levels. In Turkey, however, the duration of school closure exceeded 100 days, going well beyond the reported average. School closure resulted in academic, social and economic side effects at a global level. According to the human capital index, for instance, students are expected to experience a learning loss of 0.3 to 0.9 years. Furthermore, it is predicted that approximately 6.8 million students will drop out of schools, leading to an increase of 2% in out-of-school population (TEDMEM, 2020). Finally, the World Bank estimates the impact of school closures on the economy to be around $10 trillion (UNICEF, 2021) . In order to mitigate the impact of all these negative effects, each country took certain measures to manage the crisis  \nSTATEMENT OF PROBLEM  \nDetection of the first case on March 11, 2020, led to the suspension of face-to-face instruction at all school levels in Turkey. Education at K-12 levels continued synchronously and asynchronously via Education Information Network (MoNE, 2020a) . In higher education institutions, programs moved to the digital platforms and theoretical courses continued with online tools for synchronous and asynchronous teaching. For the applied courses, Higher Education Council (HEC) approved the intensification of the lessons with evaluations through assignments, projects or any other assessment tools deemed appropriate (MoNE, 2020a; HEC, 2020a; HEC, 2020b). As a result of the consultations between HEC and Ministry of National Education (MoNE), it was decided to continue preservice  \nEducational Planning Summer 2021 79 Vol. 28, No. 3  \nteachers’practicum experiences on digital environments.
