Anticipating Student Teaching: What Causes the Most Anxiety?
Perry, Leslie Anne; Savage-Davis, Emma
Teacher Education and Practice, v18 n1 p89-95 Win 2005
As preservice teachers anticipate student teaching, they often experience excitement, for they realize they will soon be finished with their course work and out in a school all day, every day, for a semester. This excitement may be mixed with anxiety, however, especially if they have just completed an intensive field experience where they have acquired a great deal of knowledge, and also a great many things to worry about. In order to determine what causes the most anxiety for preservice teachers as they anticipate student teaching, we surveyed 386 students from two Southeastern universities. The students had all recently completed the field experience component of their methods courses. After analyzing the data from the 12-item survey, it was determined that elementary education majors and secondary education majors have similar sources of anxiety. (Contains 3 tables.)
