The purpose of this pilot study was to examine teacher students’ agency. In this study agency
was defined as the students’ possibilities and resources to influence their studies, pursue
goals, make choices, and act autonomously and responsibly. The main aims were to find out
what kind of agency teacher students experience in their studies and what kind of factors they
perceive as supporting and constraining their agency. The pilot also aimed to ascertain
suitable methodology for investigating student agency. The data were collected with teacher
education students’ interviews (n = 2) and written self-reflections (n = 3). The analysis
indicated that teacher students’ agency was manifested as self-realization as the students

and participated actively in their learning environment. Opportunities to influence and take
initiatives and emotional safety in the learning environment were significant factors
supporting students’ agency.
