Abstract [English]

The selection and use of effective teaching methods in teacher education programs have a direct impact on the learning quality and professional competence of trainees. The present study aims to analyze the attitudes of trainees towards various teaching methods used in the integrated B.Ed. program. A descriptive survey method was employed in the study, wherein the responses of trainees were collected through a five-point attitude measurement scale. A total of 80 trainees were selected using a random sampling technique, comprising 40 trainees from IFTM University and 40 from Teerthanker Mahaveer University. A self-constructed questionnaire was used for data collection, and the data were analyzed based on percentage and mean scores. The findings of the study revealed that trainees consider participatory, practical, and ICT-assisted teaching methods to be more effective, while lecture-based methods were perceived as relatively less effective. This study provides valuable insights for enhancing teaching methods in teacher education programs and promoting innovation-based teaching.
