עמדות סטודנטים בוגרי הכשרת הוראה מתהליך ההכשרה וציפיות לקליטה במערכת החינוך

Abstract

The research examined Year 4 student-teachers' evaluations of the professional
training process for student-teachers in the Al-Qasemi Academic College of
Education, in comparison with other academic teacher education colleges.
Additionally, the study attempted to identify the Al-Qasemi college studentteachers' expectations regarding their future absorption as professional teachers
in the education system and the effectiveness of the training process at the AlQasemi college in terms of whether they had acquired tools and skills to cope
with challenges that they would face in the education field. The study employed
both quantitative and qualitative methods: quantitative data was gathered from a
closed-ended questionnaire. Respondents were sampled randomly from fourth
year student-teachers in Al-Qasemi and two other teacher education colleges. Qualitative data was drawn from semi-structured interviews with the studentteachers from Al-Quasemi college. Participants in the interviews included Year
4 student-teachers and Year 3 students in the excellence stream selected by the
"snowball" method.
Findings indicated that there were differences in several dimensions between the
attitudes of student-teachers from the three teacher education colleges, according
to the different specialist disciplines. Additionally, the findings indicated that the
main concern of the student-teachers from all three colleges was difficulty
involved in assimilation to the school's organizational climate. The findings
show that professional training in the Al-Qasemi college shaped the studentteachers' perceptions of the teaching profession and the teacher's role and also
increased their motivation for learning and professional development. However,
it was found that professional training in the Al-Qasemi college emphasized
theory at the expense of practical training and the implementation of knowledge,
and the tools and skills that they acquired during their studies.
