ABSTRACT
The study aimed to assess the student teachers' perceptions toward the Elementary Education Student Teaching Program in Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, Philippines. It is a descriptive research that made use of questionnaires as data gathering instruments which were administered to 91 student teachers composed of 10 males and 81 females belonging to age 19 and above. Data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages and weighted means. All pre-school specialized student teachers from the three batches were exposed to teaching pre-school subjects. Seventy-one (71) general education specialized student teachers also experienced teaching the different subjects in the primary and intermediate levels. The student teaching program is composed of practicum experience variables to be considered by the department which is orientation tasks, rapport with the academic community, practicum environment, auxiliary services and student-teachers activities. Results show that the variables are obtained ratings as 4.49 (HO), 4.99 (VHO), 4.49 (HO) and 4.56 (VHO) respectively. In a nutshell, the orientation tasks, rapport with the academic community, practicum environment, auxiliary services, and student-teachers activities in the department are highly observed (4.49). The data imply that the department still needs to improve the services along the different parameters to improve further its student teaching program. As such, the experiences of student teachers should really prepare them for the world of work for the future of the next generation rests on the quality of education and training they receive.
