Perception of Prospective Teachers on Their Institutional Climate in Tiruvallur District: A Survey
Rama Priya, M. P.
ABSTRACT
The study explores the perception of prospective teachers regarding the institutional climate in teacher
education colleges located in Tiruvallur District. A survey research design was adopted, and data were
collected from prospective teachers using a structured questionnaire that measured key dimensions of
institutional climate, including physical environment, academic support, administrative efficiency,
interpersonal relationships, and student services. The findings indicate that most prospective teachers
perceive their institutional climate as moderately favourable, with higher satisfaction in interpersonal
relationships and academic support, and lower satisfaction in administrative responsiveness and
infrastructure facilities. The study highlights the need for institutions to strengthen collaborative
practices, improve administrative systems, and enhance learning resources to create an environment that
promotes teacher development and well-being. The results provide useful insights for policymakers,
administrators, and teacher educators aiming to enhance the quality of teacher education institutions in
the district.
