The Professional Practice and Inquiry (PPI) course was introduced to equip pre-service teachers with the knowledge, skills, and values required to develop them into reflective practitioners with a strong teacher identity. This study looks into the efficacy of the course in the preparation of thoughtful and reflective teachers. Self-reported questionnaires were administered to the pre-service teachers. Interviews were conducted to complement the quantitative findings. Findings suggested that pre-service teachers (1) were more aware of their teaching identity, (2) perceived themselves as teacher inquirers, (3) were more able to engage in cognitive self-regulation, and (4) were more cognizant of their Graduand Teacher Competencies.
