Abstract:
Students' standard views of what constitutes teaching: teaching as transmission, teaching as a transaction, and teaching as transformation are sometimes influenced by experiential learning courses. Also, their fears of teaching (paranoia) are construed to be transformed into a change of heart (metanoia) through experiential learning. The researcher explored the relationship between students' views about teaching and their experiential learning as perceived by 42 students from the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) course who were enrolled in the Field Study subject in the College of Education of Bulacan State University- Pulilan Extension during the 1st semester of the school year 2019-2020). She utilized the descriptive-survey method; they used the Pearson r to determine the relationship between students' views about teaching and their experiential learning. Data were treated using the SPSS; findings were summarized, then conclusions and recommendations were offered.
