Abstract: Teaching practice is an integral component of teacher education programmes, offering prospective teachers an opportunity to translate pedagogical theory into real classroom practice. The present study investigates the attitude of prospective teachers towards teaching practice and examines the factors influencing their perceptions. A descriptive survey method was employed for the study. The sample comprised B.Ed. student teachers selected from colleges of education using a random sampling technique. Data were collected using a standardized Attitude Towards Teaching Practice Scale. The findings emphasize the need for effective guidance, proper planning, and supportive school environments to enhance the quality of teaching practice programmes. It is concluded that strengthening teaching practice can significantly improve professional readiness, confidence, and commitment among prospective teachers, thereby contributing to the overall quality of teacher education.
