Perceptions of student teachers towards the effectiveness of co‐operating teachers, school principals and university supervisors participating in the teacher education program in Jordan

The primary purpose of this study was to determine perceptions of student teachers regarding the effectiveness of university supervisors, school principals and co‐operating teachers participating in the teacher education program at the Hashemite University in Jordan. A total of 120 student teachers participated in the study by completing the researcher‐designed questionnaires. The results indicated that participants perceived favorable high agreement toward the effectiveness of university supervisors and co‐operating teachers and moderate agreement toward the effectiveness of school principals. Furthermore, based on t‐test and ANOVA analysis, significant differences were not found in student teachers’ perceptions based on gender and grade‐point average (GPA). The study ended by offering a number of practical and theoretical implications for the field of study.
