Study of Problems of Pupil Teacher during Practice Teaching

Teaching practice is an integral component of teacher training. It grants student teachers experience in the actual teaching and learning environment. We explore the experiences of student teachers in the B.Ed. College of education during their 10 weeks’ teaching practice in district Anantnag J & K. In this paper we aim to establish the ways in which these experiences influence the student teachers’ perception of the teaching profession. Self-made questionnaire was administered to collect the data while content analysis was used to identify themes and analyze the data. We established that, despite the positive experiences during teaching practice, student teachers experienced challenges which affected their perception of the teaching profession.
