An Analysis of Teaching Behaviours of Preschool Student Teachers in a Laboratory School Setting

In this study, the rating of nine dimensions of teaching behaviours of 112 preschool student teachers from a previous study was analysed using exploratory factor analysis. The teaching behaviours were observed and recorded using the observer rating scales. A pattern of behaviours was observed. Fou...

Preschool student teachers in the study exhibited these teaching behaviours in their teaching performance in a laboratory school setting.
