The purposes of the study are to investigate the interpersonal relationships of pre-service teachers as well as teachers' beliefs in field experience courses, and to determine the canonical correlation between interpersonal relationships and teacher beliefs. A validated questionnaire with high reliability was used to collect data from 399 pre-service teachers. The analytical results reveal that the pre-service teachers had high interpersonal relationships and strong pedagogical beliefs. Among sub-variables of interpersonal relationships, the interaction with mentors is the highest level while the interaction with administrative faculties is the lowest level. Moreover, there are two canonical factors that indicate the high correlations between four sub-variables of interpersonal relationships and four sub-variables of teacher beliefs. Specifically, the more positive pre-service teachers have interaction with their mentors, the stronger they hold beliefs about curriculum and instruction. Therefore, per-service teachers' ability to build positive relationship with mentors is recommended to be equipped during teacher education. The future research can further explore a possible cause relationship between interpersonal relationships and pedagogical beliefs for pre-service teachers. |
