Study of Perception of Trainee Teachers towards Classroom Dynamics of In-Service Teachers

Abstract

A teacher is an important component of education for effective learning in all the aspects. Good teachers are rare. The qualities of good teachers are subtle; many of them are identifiable. Already there is constant updating and refinement in knowledge and skill of serving teachers and this has to be equipped in trainee teacher with befitting competencies and positive attitude towards profession. The transition from a trainee teacher to a teacher of students is a challenging and difficult journey that can take the novice through a whole odyssey of roller-coaster. So when trainee teachers enter into real world of school, they learn to adapt to the environment. But classroom dynamics faced by them is totally different and this study was done to explore the perception of trainee teachers towards classroom dynamics of in-service teachers. The results show that the acceptable behaviour of in-service teachers is good and non-acceptable behaviour of in-service teachers is average.
