Abstract

ABSTRACT Gita Indah Cahyani : An analysis of Pre-service English Teachers’ Experiences in Applying Teaching Practicum NIM : 22551027 Advisor : Dr. Leffi Noviyenti, M.Pd Co-Advisor : Jumatul Hidayah, M.Pd Mastering teaching theories is crucial for pre-service English teachers to manage classroom dynamics effectively, especially in Indonesia, where English is taught as a foreign language. Despite acquiring theoretical knowledge, pre-service teachers often face challenges in classroom management, lesson preparation, self-confidence, and technology integration during their teaching practicum (PPL). This study aimed to examine pre-service teachers’ self-perceived teaching experiences across four domains: cognitive, pedagogical, psychological, and technological. Using an ex-post facto descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from 31 students of the English Tadris Study Program via a structured questionnaire. Findings indicate that all four domains were within the positive category, with cognitive (81%) and psychological (78.4%) aspects scoring higher than pedagogical (68.8%) and technological (68.1%) aspects. While teachers demonstrated strong understanding and problem-solving skills, gaps remained in classroom management, adaptive teaching, and technology use. These results highlight the need for enhanced support in pedagogical and technological competencies, bridging theory and practice, and guiding improvements in teaching practicum programs for future English teachers. Keywords: Pre-service Teachers, Teaching Practicum, Cognitive Development, Pedagogical Competence, Technological Skills
