- Abstract
The main objective of the study was to ascertain the effect of teacher education program on motivation, commitment, self-efficacy, and inclusion of student teachers. Four different scales were used for this purpose. Ninety eight (98) student-teachers from the Institute of Education and Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan, provided the data at two different junctures: prior to joining the institution and after completing the test semester degree program. Statistical analysis of the data utilized the t-test to determine statistical significance. It was found that student teachers were too motivated during the two-year program, while self-efficacy and commitment to pursue a teaching career increased. The paper concludes with recommendations for educators wishing to enhance the recruitment, retention, and engagement of students in teacher education.
