ABSTRACT
This study analyzed
the problem of student teacher during teaching practice exercise.
Three (3) null hypotheses where

The population of the study
comprised of the student in the faculty of education in Ambrose Alli University
Ekpoma.
The sample of the study was draw
from the faculty of education, Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma. The year one
student of the various departments under the institute of education Ambrose
Alli University Ekpoma made up the sample for this study.
The design of he study was the
survey design.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background to
the Study
A
teacher as a profession and like any other profession has prescribed services
it renders to any human society. It is therefore absolutely necessary for many
individual who went to become a teacher to acquire shills and demands.
Students teaching practices is one of such relevant
factors in teacher’s education programmed.
Teaching
practice is an “integral part” of teacher education which occupies a phase of
its own during the phase, the would be teacher is sent out by his training
institution (of lower level). For the purpose of putting into practice the
skills he has learnt under the supervision of an experienced teacher.
Every
student’s teacher should be made to realize that only teacher who has passed
both theory paper and compulsory practical training examination are considered
trained and certified. No student teacher is considered fit the award of a pass
grade in teaching unless he or she successfully fulfills the prescribed
practice regarded as a core course of teacher education programmes, which
affords student teacher the opportunity to face the realities of their
professional career. The exercise enables the student teacher to adjust and
overcome some of the practical problems of teaching often encountered in the
classroom.
The
student teacher that who is able to examine a problem from a variety of perspective
had the advantage of being in a position to use different approaches.
Further more, he is also likely to
perceive him self as a factor in problem under consideration.
The
important of teacher practice in teacher education programmed cannot be over emphasized.
It is the crucial period the teacher put into practical, the student teacher
encountered a lot of difficulties (problems) which they have to grapple with
for effective teaching learning to place.
In
Ambrose Alli University, teaching practice is important to the student’s
teacher’s understanding the appreciation of the principles of child growth and
action to the teaching learning process. Presently there has been a lot of
concern about teaching practice in Ambrose Alli university, it’s especially on
it effectiveness and purpose. The concern have been variously expressed by
educationist in the faculty of education in Ambrose Alli university, student
themselves and the general public, the thought book written by some of the
journal and mass media.
Accepting
the assumption that not every body can teach effectively and teachers are made
not born. It therefore follows that Ambrose Alli university teachers can be
aided to acquire practice knowledge, skill and attitude to good teaching.

Research Question
1.
Is there any
relationship between the attitude or practicing school and student’s teacher
performance during teaching practice?
2.
Is there any
relationship between self-confidence of the student teacher and his performance
during teaching practice?

Is there any
relationship between availability if teaching aids and student teacher’s
performance during teaching practice?

Limitation of
the Study:
There is no doubt that during the course
of writing this project many limitations were faced some of them include the
following-:
1.
Time factor:
the time was a big constraints compared to the volume and quality if the work
to be done.
2.
Data
collection: this process passed a lot of limitation to this work due to source
of data mentioned may not be enough ever the ones collected were collected in a
rigorous form.
3.
Finance: this
is also another limitation as a result of the fact that every stage of this
work needed finance beginning from stage to the last stage.
4.
