influenced student agency during this sudden transition to synchronous online learning in the
College of Education at Qatar University. By adopting a mixed methods research design, a total of
202 student teachers responded to a newly developed survey which explored four factors known to
influence agency, and provided numerical data on their perceptions towards these factors. Results
indicated a three-factor structure, namely: motivation and self-efficacy beliefs; self-regulated
learning; and socio-cultural support. Following initial quantitative analysis, nine student teachers
were recruited to engage in in-depth interviews. Qualitative analysis supported the theoretical
framework of the factors influencing student agency, and further provided a nuanced understanding
of the particularities involved in the way these factors were manifested within this novel context.
Implications of the findings on the future implementation of emergency online learning are
discussed.

learning to teach: A comparative study of the practicum experience in Lebanon and China.

We report a comparative qualitative study conducted in Lebanon and China on mentoring
approaches, their compatibility with expectations, and their facilitation of learning opportunities.
Data sources included interviews, journals, and essays from 20 student teachers (STs), and
interviews from 10 cooperating teachers (CTs). Findings indicate a dominant laissez-faire approach
in the Lebanese context with negative compatibility with STs’ expectations, and an apprenticeship
approach in the Chinese context with positive compatibility with STs’ expectations. Learning
opportunities varied dependent on compatibility with expectations and socio-cultural factors. A
transformative approach to mentoring and system supports are recommended to maximize learning
opportunities during the practicum.
