Teaching practice in remote areas is beneficial for pre-service teachers’ professional development. The geographical structure and society in remote areas provide unique experiences. This study focuses on how teaching practice in remote areas opens up opportunities for transformative learning. Forty-one pre-service primary teachers from three universities participated in semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted in retrospect after participants had finished their teaching practice. Results show that PSTs encountered nine types of challenges during teaching practice; parents’ low awareness of the importance of their children’s education, local teachers’ low motivation, limited teaching resources at school, pupils’ absenteeism, pupils’ poor numeracy and literacy skills, the principal’s low responsibility, natural hazard factors, pupils’ low ability to understand Indonesian, and local conflicts between different communities. Encountering these nine types of challenges fosters PSTs’ disorientation, which might lead to transformative learning. In conclusion, remote areas have potential for transformative learning
