Yea started my Research Proposal...



TRAINEE TEACHERS’ READINESS AND CHALLENGES TOWARDS TEACHING PRACTICE


Statement of problem

                The current trends and changes that are taking place in the field of education in this new millennium has, in one way or another, has called for a re-look into kind of training that should be  provided for would be teachers who will be taking their place in schools. There is an imperative need to re-evaluate the teacher training curriculum to see if it met the current needs and demands of the schools. The urge for the re-evaluation is reflected by the rising research pertaining to such issues carried out worldwide.

                For instance, research conducted by Way and Holden (2009) in University of Wisconsin-Madison involving 1,200 K12 teachers revealed that these teachers demanded for more training to develop capacity to teach financial education topics as they believed that financial management is one of the main issues among their students. Whilst Gnawali (2010)  points out that there is something wrong in the teacher training curriculum in Nepal as he found that English teachers who had gone for a teacher training program did not show any development in the teaching methodology after coming back to the schools. In Vietnam, Belgian Development Agency (2010) demands for changes in the teacher training curriculum as they found that traditional  practices are still commonly used, requiring students to learn by rote and hinders their active  participation and discouraging independent thinking and creativity.

                 All these show that re-evaluating teacher education in the new millennium is a global issue that needs to be addressed carefully so that it could benefit both the teachers and the students. Thus this research was born out of concern to re-evaluate the teacher training program in Malaysia and suggest necessary reforms that could be taken so that it would not be left behind in meeting the challenging needs and demands of the new millennium.
