STUDENT-TEACHERS’ PERCEPTION OF INCIVILITY: THE CASE OF A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION IN NORTH-CENTRAL NIGERIA

Abstract

Incivility has been reported to be on the rise in higher education but little is known about its occurrence in teacher education. Therefore this study explored the manifestations of classroom incivility in pre-service teachers by using survey. It was found that like other higher institutions, incivility is an issue in teacher education. This study creates awareness about incivility in teacher education and it may be a step towards tackling it and or paving way for further research.
