Abstract Details

Few researchers have examined the impact on pre-service teacher efficacy as related to a field experience in a literacy content area. In this study, the pre-service teachers were enrolled in a phonemic awareness and phonics course with an associated field experience. The Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale and a researcher created content specific survey provided pre and post field experience data. The researcher created content survey provided insight regarding the changes in attitudes of the candidates with the overall responses in the survey indicated that the candidates were more confident in phonemic awareness and phonic lesson design after the field experience. The study was conducted at a small private college with early childhood education majors. The small sample size limited overall conclusions. Indeed, the results indicated no significant differences. The impact of the field experience on individual efficacy was not evident; further research is required.
