A semi-experimental research method was implemented with a pre-test, post-test design with a control group. The statistical population was all students (including 250 people) and internship guidance professors in the field of educational sciences (35 people) at Payame Noor University in Isfahan province in the academic year 2021-2022. The sample size was 30 people in two experimental and control groups of intern students and 20 of the internship guidance professors were selected based on the inclusion criteria and random assignment. The data collection tool was a questionnaire made by a researcher with 40 questions of cognitive performance in 4 scales of necessity, interest and skill in teaching learning disorders, preparing the lesson plan. And the education of the first grade and the fifth grade of elementary school with Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 89%. Elementary teacher assistant training was taught in 10 sessions for three weeks. Research data analysis was done using one-way and multi-way covariance analysis using spss23 software. The findings showed that the primary teacher assistant training had an effect on students' cognitive performance with F (15.921, sig=0.001) and the effect size was 67%. Also, the primary teacher assistant training for internship guidance professors with (694/694 sig=0.001) 218F and the effect size was 63%. As a result, according to the effectiveness of this training course, it is recommended to use this plan in order to target the internship unit of educational science students at undergraduate level before entering elementary schools as a teacher's assistant by increasing the number of sessions.
