    Student Teachers' Perception And Attitudes Towards Teaching Practice: A Case Study Of Christ The Teacher Institute For Education, Tangaza College.
    (Tangaza University College, 2003) Hongoli, Polycarp
    Perception and attitudes towards Teaching Practice among student teachers change. This study was undertaken for the purpose of investigating the Student Teachers' Perception and Attitudes towards Teaching Practice before, after the Practice and the factors for this change. The investigation focused on the Christ Teacher Institute for Education (CTIE) Students preparing for the Teaching Practice, those on the Practice and those who had done it. Accordingly, three objectives were set (Cf. Objectives of the Study). Books were reviewed to obtain information on the study. Several methods of data collecting were used. Methods included: questionnaire, interview and observations. Photographs displaying different activities and facts of the Teaching Practice were taken (CI Appendix I). Before teaching practice students have mixed perception and attitudes that are largely negative. After the practice such perceptions and attitudes change and become positive. There are many reasons for the difference and change: lack of confidence, fear and uncertainties on some aspects of the practice like people, facilities, transportation, and accommodation are some of the factors for the negative. The whole experience student teachers get during the practice, including the disapproval of some of the worries they had before, the good performance on the practice, appreciation of their work and the fulfilment they get lead to positive perception and attitudes that come to be held later.The findings presented are followed by the summary, conclusions, recommendations and suggestion for further study. The study with such findings is assumed to be of great help to the student teachers preparing for the Teaching Practice and Teachers' Training Program as a whole. iv
