The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Revision of Scales of Ability for Early Childhood Education（ RSAECE, Akiyama 2014） was a useful tool for students who aspire to be preschool teachers for monitoring their behavior in practice teaching. For this purpose, the students completed the RSAECE after each of three times of teaching practice and the Revision Self-Monitoring Scale and the Concern for Appropriateness Scale（ both made by Lennox & Wolfe,1984） only once. Results of correlation analysis showed that all these scales had statistically significant positive correlations. Furthermore, I analyzed the relationship between RSAECE scores and evaluations of teaching practice and academic performance. There was a significant relationship only between evaluations of teaching practice and schoolwork. Each time the students did teaching practice, their RSAECE scores increased. Therefore, the RSAECE scale was helpful in checking the appropriate behavior of student teachers, but was not able to predict evaluations by others of their achievement. |
