Abstract

Teachers college is a place where students learn and develop their pedagogical competence and pedagogical course is one the main ways to achieve this. However, the quality of pedagogical course is still questioned because there have been some criticisms on the quality of the graduates. Therefore, it is crucial to gain insight on the strength and weaknesses of the current practice of pedagogical course held by teachers college. This study aims to obtain information about the current practice of pedagogical course organized by teachers college and identify problems that need to be addressed in order to improve the quality of the course. This study is also resulted in some recommendations to improve the effectiveness of pedagogical course learning process which will allow students to develop their pedagogical competence as future teachers. This study used quantitative descriptive method and employed questionnaire to collect the data. The questionnaires were given to 21 students taking pedagogical course, who then assessed elements of the learning process that could help develop pedagogical competence. Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that the course delivery lacked the ability to engage students, the course materials hardly facilitated students to understand difficult materials and the course evaluation lacked feedback needed by students. In other words, the quality of the course materials, delivery, and evaluation was still on the average level, which means the course learning process did not optimally facilitated students to acquire pedagogical competence they need as future teachers.
