Abstract

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of teaching practice on the acquisition of teaching skills and classroom performance techniques among final-year NCE Biology students at the Federal University of Education, Zaria, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was employed, with a sample of 269 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.88. The data were analyzed using means and standard deviations. The results demonstrated that teaching practice significantly enhanced various teaching skills, including lesson planning, classroom management, and communication. However, student teachers encountered challenges such as inadequate resources and difficulty integrating contemporary issues. The study recommends that teacher education institutions refine their teaching practice programs to include more opportunities for reflective practices and constructive feedback, among others.
