This article aims to explore the effect of using KWL strategy (what I
Know, what I Want to learn, and what I did Learn) during the observation of a
practical programme to acquire teaching experience. A descriptive study
approach was designed to investigate how 50 pre-service teachers use the KWL
strategy to develop teaching performance. Fifty pre-service teachers were
interviewed to create a concept map that brings all teaching experiences under
four categories: planning, instruction concerns, learner, and evaluation. The
results reveal that the use of the KWL strategy enriches pre-service teachers'
experience and develops performance, as it increases deeper thinking about the
profession and a positive attitude towards teaching. It is recommended that the
practical teaching programme use KWL as an effective strategy for improving
candidates' teaching, as it leads to activating their prior knowledge about
teaching and to enhancing their behaviours towards teaching for further
planning and progress
