Research on teaching efficacy of pre-service teacher during practice teaching
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v6i3.1824
Abstract
Practice teaching represents authentic experiential learning and culminating experience to better prepare the prospective teachers for actual teaching experience. This study examines the changes in pre-service teachers' teaching self-efficacy during a practice teaching course. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving pre- and post-course surveys to assess self-efficacy levels and qualitative interviews to capture participants' reflections on their experiences. Qualitative data further underscore the importance of practical experience, peer interactions, and mentor support in enhancing self-efficacy. These results highlight the significance of practice teaching courses in shaping pre-service teachers' confidence and have implications for curriculum design and teacher preparation programs.
