Exploring the Adaptability of Pupil Teachers in Diverse Learning Contexts

Abstract Teachers with adaptability skills are better prepared to navigate the constantly evolving landscape of education. They can modify their teaching strategies to meet the needs of their students while keeping pace with new technologies and teaching methods. By embracing new concepts and learning from their mistakes, adaptable teachers can enhance their skills and better equip their students for success. Ultimately, adaptability is a valuable tool that enables teachers to stay ahead of the curve and provide the best possible education to their students. To study the adaptability of pupil teachers in diverse learning contexts, the present research was conducted. A survey method was employed to assess the levels of learning adaptability among pupil teachers from various teacher training institutions and colleges affiliated with H.N.B. Garhwal University in Srinagar, Uttarakhand. The study used a self-constructed “Learning Adaptability Scale” consisting of 18 items, each rated on a 10-point scale. The scale was categorised into three dimensions: learning management, learning efficacy, and learning difficulties. The findings of the study assist teacher educators in navigating the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the teaching profession.
