Theimpact of an educational administration course on the pre-service teachers expectations

Abstract EN

This study explores the effect of the completion of an educational administration course on the expectations of pre-service teachers regarding their future workplace.

Data were collected from 334 students enrolled in the educational program of the faculty of education at Taiz University.

The instrument of the study was a questionnaire that consisted of 44 items.

According to the findings, respondents who had completed the administration course had more realistic expectations with respect to some aspects of school organization.

The significant differences between course completers and non-completers concerned the future role of teachers in the school system and the role of their superiors.

The ramifications of these findings for the teachers' education program were discussed.
