Education is the key to development; however, it is impossible to think the quality of education without having
academically qualified and professional responsible teachers. The main objective of this study was to examine
the perspectives of undergraduate student teachers toward teaching practice experience as a tool of learning to
teach. A qualitative research methods approach using semi - structure questionnaires was carried out to 351
second and third year undergraduate student teachers in the department of education of the Faculty of Science at
Sokoine University of Agriculture. The findings indicate that the student teachers perceived teaching practice as
an important tool of learning to teach because it promoted the development of teaching experience and prepared
them for the real world of work. The results also revealed that teaching practice is sufficiently emphasised and
lack of financial support and the mismatch of the teaching practice period with local secondary school calendar
were the main challenges. The study recommends provision of adequate fund on time, close supervision,
building strong university partnership with the local secondary schools need interventions if not be improved and
given its due attention. |
