Abstract

The objective of this study is to look for the effect of student teaching on the personal sense of efficacy of the intern of sports and physical education teacher. For calculat-ing this effect, it has used the French version of the questionnaire by Perrault (2008) for trainee teachers and semi maintenance policy for educational advisers. Our sam-ple consists of 402 trainee teachers and 10 counsellors of higher Institute of sport and physical education of Sfax. The results show that student teaching of sports and physical education increases the feeling of self efficacy in the trainee contrary to the opinion of counsel that shows as the student teaching is not significant effect. We can explain our result by Hoy Woolfolk notice, (1990); Gorrell & Hwang (1995); Mul-holland, Dorman, & Odgers (2004), which show that the beliefs of efficiency increase among future teachers during curriculum but there are other research that shows such as Plourde studies (2002), which shows that there is no effect of practice teach-ing on the beliefs of the effectiveness of future teachers and they attribute this result downward and the realization of the difficulties in teaching.
