ABSTRACT
The study in this research is aimed to see the description of anxiety on teacher candidates based on direct experiences encountered during the teaching practice at school. Many factors causing a teacher candidate to experience anxiety, including cognitive domain, somatic domain, and pedagogic domain factors. This study used a qualitative method with phenomenological approach. Subject used in the study were selected by using the purposive sampling technique, in which teacher candidates are those who have passed the micro-teaching prerequisite subject. The reflection analysis results of teachers candidates indicate that they experienced anxiety during their initial activities at school. Teacher candidates lost the feeling as the time passed and when they have adapted to the environment and condition of students. Some discovered reasons have caused anxiety on teacher candidates when they conduct direct teaching practices in class, such as getting anxious about not being able to deliver materials properly according to the pre-made plans in the learning implementation plan (PPL) and getting anxious about not being able to be a good teacher. Reflection results provide an illustration of how the correlation among psychological factors also needs to be considered in preparing teacher candidates who are ready to directly implement learning in class. This condition indicates the need for in-depth and comprehensive studies regarding psychological factors, and can be made as the evaluation material for education providers of teacher candidate to put their attention on this matter.
