Teaching practice at the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training is a
mandatory program that must be implemented. In its implementation, pre-service
teachers experience various experiences, both positive and negative, and face
several difficulties. This study uses the Photovoice method to explore the emotional
experiences and challenges faced by pre servie teachers during teaching practice.
This research aims to capture a range of emotions and identify specific difficulties
in the classroom. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis according to Braun
and Clarke, involving 6 English Language Education students class of 2020 from
UIN Antasari Banjarmasin who had passed Teaching Practice I. The results showed
that pre-service teachers faced various emotions, from excitement to stress, and
challenges such as classroom management, lesson planning, and adaptation to
school activities. And understanding these difficulties is important for developing
supports that can enhance pre-service teaching experiences and prepare future
educators. Further research is needed to address the difficulties experienced during
teaching practice.
