Abstract

When using simulation for preservice teacher education, the impact of contents can vary significantly among teachers. The study aims to explore the differences in interest development based on the level of classroom management efficacy exhibited by teachers while classroom management simulation. A total of 57 preservice teachers participated in the study, where they acquired classroom management skills through a teaching simulation and provided feedback on their pre-efficacy and interest perception. The findings indicated that preservice teachers with high classroom management efficacy maintained consistently high interest levels throughout development process. This study highlights the significance of pre-service teachers’ teaching efficacy as a crucial determinant of the effectiveness of simulation used in teacher education.
