Abstract

Our study focuses on learning characteristics of students attending initial teacher education (ITE) program for bachelor degree in preschool and primary school teaching. Previous research conducted [1], [2], [3], [8] showed that there are significant particularities in ITE that are related to professional maturity levels, multi-leveled usage of learning styles and an internal locus of control. Our approach aims to look for a well determined pattern in succeeding during the first year of ITE, so we can generate a potential set of recommendations on taking action in learning (for students) and adaptation of content, teaching methods and assessment elements for higher education teachers in order to achieve a more effective training program and a higher rate of academic success. As research instruments, we used a learning style questionnaire, a situational questionnaire measuring the emotional intelligence coefficient, and the studentsВ’ assessment results of semestrial test papers given during the first academic year. The research was conducted on 110 ITE first year students; 86 of them filled in all the questionnaires and have completed data for semester terms. The results confirmed that succeeding at term exams involves a strong pattern, as well as various additional factors such as emotional intelligence and implication in professional practicum.
