Abstract
Pedagogical training is defined as an important mean in the process of teacher preparation as successful teachers.
Various researchers point out that teachers preparation and the development of their cognitive ability to think reflectively, constitutes a major condition for preparing teachers professionally. (Selberstein etal, 1998, Short Rinehart, 1993).
The work of the pedagogical trainer focuses, among other things, upon his attempt to assist students to progress and shift from the condition they are found in to a desired condition they want to reach. (Costa and Garmston, 1999).
Mutual confidence between the pedagogical trainer and his trainees contribute greatly to the success of his training and enable an efficient guidance and supervision to the students throughout their professional development.
Moreover, the training language is characterized as a positive language rather than a critical one. It should be an objective, accurate and theoretical as opposed to judgmental (Costa and Garmston, 1999).
The pedagogical trainer should use various skills which are suitable to the current guiding supervisory situation in order to accomplish his work properly and to achieve the objectives of practical training.
In this article, I tried to highlight these skills and their utmost importance to teacher training and to the professional development of the pedagogical trainer ad well. I also tried to supply samples and examples drawn from practical training.
