Teaching anxiety is a common psychological issue experienced by pre-service teachers, especially during their teaching practice period.Entering real classroom situations for the first time often creates fear, tension, and uncertainty among trainees.This study examines the impact of teaching anxiety on teaching confidence and classroom management among B.Ed. trainees.The objectives include identifying the level of teaching anxiety, examining teaching confidence and classroom management skills, and analysing the relationship between these variables.A quantitative survey method was adopted for the study.The population consisted of B.Ed. trainees studying in teacher education institutions in Calicut district, Kerala.A sample of 60 trainees was selected using simple random sampling from two colleges of teacher education.Standardized tools such as the Teaching Anxiety Scale, Teaching Confidence Scale, and Classroom Management Scale were used for data collection.The findings reveal that pre-service teachers experience a moderate level of teaching anxiety.It is also found that teaching anxiety has a negative relationship with teaching confidence and classroom management.This indicates that higher levels of anxiety reduce confidence and affect classroom control.The study highlights the need to address emotional preparedness in teacher education and suggests that supportive training practices can help in developing confident and effective teachers.
