CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to Study Every stage in life is faced with its own problem; some are inherited and is minimized while others are not and have solution but due to man’s inability to proof difficulties away in life at one time or the other life is surrounded. The Nigeria students are faced with a number of problems which affect their academic as a result of this lost interest in their academic work. Furthermore, insecurity problem is another difficult being faced by students in tertiary institutions, secret cult members pose a threat to a number of students who are not parts of them, large number of students has been injured, while others have lost their lives. Ruairc (2013) defines teaching practice as an important component of becoming a teacher. Teaching practice grants student - teachers experience in the actual teaching and learning environment. Teaching practice is known to expose student- teachers to the actual practice of teaching. It is during this period that student- teachers are given the opportunity to try the art of teaching before actually getting into the real world of the teaching profession (Kiggundu and Nayimuli 2009). In view of this, Perry (2012) argues that teaching practice creates a mixture of anticipation, anxiety, excitement and apprehension in the student- teachers as they commence their teaching practice. Thus, this provides student- teachers with the chance to express their personal educational philosophies, theories and understandings. In other words, this creates an opportunity for student- teachers to experiment and test their knowledge and skills in the profession of teaching and learning 1
