Abstract

This paper is a report of the study conducted to find out how much teaching competencies student teachers had acquired and enhanced during teaching practice. The research sample included 64 student teachers in urban secondary schools in Fiji. The findings revealed that student teachers had a good grasp of some teaching competencies but needed more preparation in others. There was evidence that teacher education providers and Associate teachers, play a pivotal role in enhancing these significant teaching competencies to student teachers. The findings reveal that any laxity in this provision gives rise to a number of problems like lack of confidence, and poor classroom management, to name a few.
