Lived Experiences of Student-Teachers During Practice Teaching Through Remote Teaching Modality

Abstract

This study presents the lived experiences of Pre-service Teachers during their internship program as practice teachers during the pandemic. This study includes a sample of Two Hundred (n=200) student interns who were deployed to different schools across the region. The springboard of this study is the systems approach utilizing the ADDIE model of instructional design. This study aims to describe the lived experiences of pre-service teachers during their practice teaching through remote teaching modality. This study utilized a qualitative research method through in-depth and focus group discussions. A narrative analysis was used to investigate the pre-service teachers' perspectives on remote-based teaching, their practices, challenges, and prospects. Secondary data of the research were collected through a careful analysis of respondents’ narratives in the digital portfolio. Emergent themes were found using thematic analysis. The Pre-service Teachers discussed their expectations, both met and unmet, as well as the difficulties they encountered in managing their courses and delivering their lessons. They admitted that there was a strong support system from their cooperating teachers and supervising instructors. They continued to exert significant cognitive-social teaching influence. In conquering difficulties, they also demonstrated a growth mentality, resilience, integrity, and tenacity. Despite the challenges they encountered, they had accomplishments while completing their teaching internship. It is recommended that teacher education institutions implement targeted professional development programs emphasizing technology integration, virtual classroom management, and creative instructional approaches. Enhance mentorship and collaboration among educators that can help pre-service teachers navigate the challenges and gain confidence in teaching.
