Feedback about Practice Teaching:Reactions of Pre-service Teachers

Project Report from the year 2013 in the subject Education - Educational Tests & Measurements, language: English, abstract: Practice teaching or a student teaching is a process through which a student-teacher secures guided experiences as a preparation for all aspects of his professional career. The process of feedback is an important dimension in practice teaching. The main function of giving feedback is to provide data about the individuals teaching study, teaching skills, different acts of behaviours and its effect on others. Through the feedback, the student-teachers can know their positive and negative areas observed in their practicing lessons and thereby improving their practice lessons. Therefore, keeping in mind the importance of feedback in practice teaching, the authors of this paper attempted to study the reactions of student-teachers about the feedback system adopted by the Department of Education (CASE), The M. S. University of Baroda. All 180 student-teachers enrolled during the year 2011-12 were constituted as a sample and a constructed reaction scale was implemented. This book highlights the major findings, its discussion and implications for the teacher training.
