During the analysis phase of the study besides descriptive statistics, bivariate correlation and multivariate analysis of variance were carried out. The findings revealed that there was a significant correlation between the learning strategies rehearsal, organization, metacognitive self-regulation, association, time/study environmental, and peer learning and help seeking. The results MANOVA revealed significant relations between rehearsal, organization, metacognitive self-regulation strategies and departments and gender. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the teacher candidates had an overall high academic self-efficacy levels.
