The researchers employed a case study research design and the participants comprised three female PSTs majoring in Mathematics from a Malaysian public university who undertook the ITP in a public junior high school in Indonesia for eight weeks. The data were collected from the PSTs’ reflective journals and face-to-face interviews which were analysed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.
