Abstract

This study explored the effects of a series of class activities utilizing design thinking on pre-service English teachers’ teacher efficacy, self-directed learning, and interpersonal competences. 29 pre-service English teachers enrolled in a class participated in the study for 6 class sessions. The participating students were tested on their teacher efficacy, self-directed learning, and interpersonal competences before and after the activities. Paired-samples t-tests were conducted and the results of the analysis found the following. First, their overall teacher efficacy and all of its three sub-components increased with statistical significance. The students’ levels of self-directed learning and its three sub-components also improved. In terms of interpersonal competences, the overall level and three out of five sub-components showed a statistically significant increase. The findings of the study provide pedagogical implications on the use of design thinking-based activities on pre-service teacher training programs.
