Abstract

The study aims to investigate the influence of previous professional experience on future teachers’ perception of their mastery of the competencies expected upon completion of teacher training programmes. In this context, the Teaching and Learning Centre at University XX has launched an exploratory survey, using a self-assessment questionnaire, to understand whether and how this perception varies by conducting a pre-post survey for PF60.
