Abstract:
This research examines the performance of pre-service teachers in the
Department of Islamic Studies, College of Education, Prince Sattam bin
Abdulaziz University, during their on-site training courses. The research
analyses and evaluates the methods and strategies followed by the pre-service
teachers in terms of compliance with the objectives of the College’s programs.
Moreover, this research aims at identifying the relationship between the GPA
of Pre-service teachers and their level of performance. The research adopts an
analytical approach through analyzing and evaluating methods and strategies
of teachers/students. The research is based on observing 47 students, who are
carefully studied. The analysis is consolidated by interviewing seven random
students of the same observed group. As a result, the research has reached
some conclusions. There is a poor impact of teaching when the teacher adopts
traditional methods of lecturing and introductory skills, such as adopting the
blackboard, colored markers, and traditional lecturing. The research has also
found that pre-service teachers/students successfully diversify the use of the
assessment and consolidation skills. In addition, the research has explored a
number of obstacles that hinder Pre-service teachers from adopting teaching
skills, such as the skeptical attitude of some teachers towards adopting
competencies and skills as well as the poor level of students/teachers in terms
of training and knowledge acquisition.
