Students were placed at grade level assignments, and Junior Achievement trained the participants, provided them with curricula, and paired them with K-12 teachers in local counties. Each pre-service student taught five or six Junior Achievement classes in their early field experience. The researchers administered a survey to the 176 teacher pre-service students after they completed their field experience. The surveys explored the Junior Achievement experience as it related to the content of the course: teaching methods, classroom management, issues of diversity, cooperative learning, and whole class instruction. Results suggested a strong fidelity between the Junior Achievement lessons and the topics of the general methods course. The implications of an alternative early field experience in which pre-service teac...

Teacher candidates were asked to respond to student classroom management behaviors by rating the amount of discomfort each behavior generated for them based upon their time in field experiences. Data analysis suggested eight statistically significant differences and sixteen similarities between the responses of the teacher candidates’ perceptions.
