Performance on classroom simulations enhances preservice teachers' motivation in teaching: A latent change perspective.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPreparing preservice teachers for teaching placements and future careers is crucial. However, their motivation often fluctuates as they gain experience and receive feedback from influential sources. While previous studies have examined changes in preservice teachers' motivation over time, there has been little research on how this motivation varies in relation to performance during simulations.
aimsWe explored how performance on a series of classroom simulation sessions predicts preservice teachers' self-efficacy, career intentions, and perceived fit with the profession, after controlling for the baseline levels. SAMPLE: Participants were 1411 preservice teachers from an undergraduate teacher education programme in Australia (M = 20.27 years, SD = 4.54).
methodsData were collected from students enrolled in an introduction to teaching course in a 4-year teacher education programme. Participants completed three classroom simulation sessions spaced over a 3-week period. We used latent change structural equation modelling to test the effects of performance on classroom simulations on preservice teachers' self-efficacy, career intentions and perceived person-vocation fit.
resultsThe level of performance on classroom simulations significantly predicted changes in self-efficacy and person-vocation fit (but not career intentions), even after controlling for baseline levels of the constructs, as well as gender and age. Moreover, the change in teaching self-efficacy was progressively more pronounced after the second and third classroom simulation sessions. Finally, both age and gender were found to be associated with preservice teachers' motivation to teach.
conclusionsThe implications for practice are that preservice teacher motivation may respond well to regular, repeated teaching-related simulations.
