SUMMARY
A teacher's personality competence plays an important role in achieving educational goals. Personality is formed through every experience a teacher has. These experiences then govern a teacher's perspectives and thoughts and are reflected in behavior that shapes personality. Therefore, it is important for teacher candidates to do field experiences or observations in schools. This study will look at how the character of teacher candidates, such as caring, responsibility, and sensitivity to the needs of students, is enhanced during field experiences. The particpants of this study were 30 teacher candidates from several schools around Jakarta. Data taken from portfolios, reflection sheets, and mentors' observation sheets about the teacher candidates were analyzed in-depth. The reflections sheet included students’ explanations about 1) teacher management regarding student behavior and classroom environment, 2) teacher teaching strategies and instructional media, 3) teacher interaction in learning and communication skills, and 4) teacher assessment. The teacher candidates’ perspective after the field experience ended included 1) making a commitment to build communication and relationships with students as a form of a caring attitude, 2) making a commitment to share responsibility related to the assessment process, and 3) realizing that teachers need to be sensitive to diverse students during the learning process.
