Pre-Service Teachers' Teaching Anxiety, Teaching Self-Efficacy, and Problems Encountered during the Practice Teaching Course
Gorospe, Joanne D.

Practice teaching represents authentic experiential learning and culminating experience to better prepare the prospective teachers for actual teaching experience. However, pre-service teachers who go through the practicum have a number of worries and anxieties which could lower their teaching self-efficacy and consequently their performance. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the pre-service teachers' teaching anxiety and teaching self-efficacy, the possible reasons for such teaching anxiety, and pre-service teachers' suggestions to lessen, if not totally eliminate it. For this purpose, student-teacher anxiety and self-efficacy scales have been used for data collection as well as interviews among the pre-service teachers. The findings revealed that pre-service teachers' teaching anxiety significantly relates to their teaching self-efficacy and among the factors of teaching anxiety, classroom management best predicts pre-service teachers' teaching self-efficacy. It was also found that there is a significant difference between the levels of teaching anxiety of the pre-service teachers depending on their grade level placement. As perceived by the pre-service teachers, the main cause of their teaching anxiety is high expectations from cooperating teachers and students; hence they recommend better planning and preparation for internship.
