Abstract
The Shapiro Teacher Self-Assessment Scale was administered to 156 final year student teachers from four Eastern Caribbean teachers' colleges (Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines) to inquire into their perceived instructional competence. Results indicated that the student teachers needed help in "using creative methods in teaching" and also in "the organization of classes for instruction." Male teachers in the sample were significantly more deficient in perceived competence than their female counterparts
