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.
