- Summary:
-
This study sought to find out the nature of the professional influence that Nigerian cooperating teachers exert on student teachers. The interactions of four elementary school teachers and eight students who taught in their classes were closely observed, and the students' formal and informal interactions with these teachers were documented. In describing the dynamic events in student teaching, participant observation and interviews as well as questionnaires were used. Questionnaires were developed from the data generated from the observations. Respondents to questionnaires included 340 student teachers, 300 cooperating teachers, and 120 college tutors with whom the student teachers had close contact. The impression stated by some researchers and writers that Nigerian cooperating teachers have a somewhat negative role was, to a degree, substantiated. All of the student teachers interviewed said that they expected more help from the class teachers than they received, and that they got more help from the college tutors than from the class teachers. It is indicated in this study that cooperating teachers are not incorporated sufficiently into the offical plan of student teaching. Recommendations are made for improving the quality of interaction between student teachers and their cooperating teachers. (JD)
