Abstract

The aim of the current research is to identify the effectiveness of a training program based on metacognitive processes in developing creative teaching skills, and self-efficacy in teaching for Mathematics student teachers. To answer the research questions, and to test its hypotheses, the quasi-experimental approach was used, based on the experimental design with two groups (experimental and control). The experimental group has (32) student teachers in third year at the College of Education, while the control group has (30) student teachers. In the first semester of the academic year 2021/2022, the research sample indivaduals were exposed to Tools before, then the proposed training program applied during the specified time, after that the tools were Pre and post tests were applied.
The research relied on two main tools: Interview sheet for creative teaching skills, and the self-efficacy scale in teaching. The T-test for independent and dependent groups was used in statistical analysis, as well as the EtA square.
The results of the research indicated the effectiveness of using the training program based on metacognitive processes in developing the level of creative teaching skills, self-efficacy in teaching for the research sample indivaduals, and in the light of the results of the research, it was recommended to pay attention to teaching based on meta-cognitive processes, and develop the level of student-teacher awareness of these processes while teaching courses (micro-teaching, teaching methods, and practical education), and paying attention to the teacher’s beliefs in his abilities and self-skills, in addition to make connection between meta-cognitive processes , Creative teaching, and belief in self-abilities for pre-servic mathematics teachers during training for teaching skills.
