This study aims to compare the attitudes towards teaching skills of individuals with and without school teaching experience. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we gathered quantitative data through surveys and qualitative data through interviews to explore how prior teaching experience influences perceptions of teaching competency. Results indicate significant differences in self-assessed teaching skills between the two groups, with experienced teachers demonstrating higher confidence and proficiency in various pedagogical areas. These findings highlight the importance of practical teaching experience in developing effective teaching skills and suggest implications for teacher training programs.
