This article aimed to investigate the attitudes of educational science students on internship. It also aimed to study the effect of internship on professional growth and academic qualifications of future teachers from the perspective of intake of students and teachers in Shahid Maghsoudi Pardis of Hamedan University in 2013. This is a descriptive survey. The statistical population consisted of 108 students of undergraduate program using krejcie-Morgan table. Random sampling was employed. A 24-item researcher-designed questionnaire was employed. The items were scored on a Likert scale. Face and Content validity was verified by the comments of five psychology and psychometrics professors. Cronbach's alpha was used for verifying the reliability. It was reported 0.90. Inferential data analysis was used. Appropriate parametric test (one-sample t-test) was used after the verification of data normality through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Findings showed that passing internship was effective in the acquisition of professional skills, scientific competence, job satisfaction, familiarity with work environment, use of professional teachers' experience, and students' interest on teaching from the perspective of teachers and students. In-service internship was ineffective in this regard.
