The main objective of this research was to investigate the perceptions and experiences of novice teachers in their teaching and learning practices. The participants of this research were five novice teachers in Makassar. A qualitative research method was adopted in this research by using phenomenological approach. The data collection methods taken in this research included photovoice, identity boxes and in-depth interview Meanwhile, the data analysis was conducted through data condensation, data display, and data verification or data conclusion drawing. The data were analysed using thematic analysis based on the theory of Maxims of Skilful Teacher proposed by Brookfield. The research findings from novice teachers in Makassar revealed key qualities deemed important for teachers, including possessing broader insights, understanding student differences, and fostering emotional engagement. Challenges identified encompassed a lack of teaching methods, misbehaviour of students, and the teachers’ lack of adaptability in the current phase of post pandemic settings. To address these challenges, participants suggested strategies such as enhancing social presence, promoting teacher satisfaction and courage to take risks, and integrating theory and practice in the classroom and school environment. While teachers’ emotional control was emphasised for managing student misbehaviours, teachers were also suggested to take risks to promote innovation and active engagement of students.
