An Analysis of the Relationship Between the Pre-Service Teachers’ Curriculum Literacy and Their Preparedness to Teach

Abstract

This study attempts to determine the relationship between the pre-service teachers’ curriculum literacy and their preparedness to teach. Having a quantitative research design, the study employed the corelational survey model. The sample consisted of 373 pre-service teachers studying in the departments of Arabic, science, primary school mathematics, English, classroom, social sciences and Turkish education. The participants were chosen by the convenience sampling method. This study deployed "Curriculum Literacy Scale" and "Preparedness to Teach Scale" as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression and correlation analyses were used during data analysis. The results suggested that the pre-service teachers had a high level of curriculum literacy in terms of curriculum objectives, curriculum content, teaching-learning processes and measurement-evaluation sub-factor. As for their preparedness to teach, they had a high level of participation in terms of the sub-factor of forming an effective learning environment, while a moderate level of participation related to the sub-factors of designing the instructional process, techno-pedagogical approach and understanding the learner. A positive, moderate and significant relationship was identified between the overall of the curriculum literacy scale and the sub-factors of understanding the learner, techno-pedagogical approach, and designing the instructional process, while a positive, high-level and significant relationship was found between the pre-service teachers’ curriculum literacy and the sub-factors of forming an effective learning environment. Besides, the curriculum objectives, curriculum content, teaching-learning process and measurement-evaluation, which are the sub-factors of the curriculum literacy scale, significantly predicted the pre-service teachers’ preparedness to teach.
