Trinidad and Tobago is the most southerly isle of the archipelago of the Caribbean islands which has a population of approximately 1.3 million people. Education is available to all from pre-school to tertiary level both by the state and private providers. Prior to 2006, teacher education was prescribed for in-service teachers at teachers‟ colleges, by the Ministry of Education (MOE). However, the inservice system ended in 2006 and was replaced with pre-service teacher education provided by the national university, the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT). Since then, hundreds of teachers have graduated with a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree from the institution. These graduateteachers were subsequently assessed and hired by the MOE at various primary schools in the country. The graduate-teachers have been exposed to various theoretical and pedagogical courses. These included a practicum component every semester for a total period of twelve (12) weeks throughout the four year programme. This study seeks to fill a gap in the literature which demonstrates a perceived disparity between the institutional preparation of pre-service teachers for the practicum and the actual realities of classroom practice.
