The correlation research had these purposes: (1) To examine the coefficient of relationship between wouldbe teachers’ teaching-practice experiences and their post practice attitudes in the selected public Nigerian universities if any. (2) To determine effective strategies for managing would-be teachers’ teaching-practice experiences with their post-practice attitudes in the selected public Nigerian universities. The study area was Nigeria with emphasis on 4 selected public universities (Ahmadu Belo University, University of Benin, University of Ibadan and University of Nigeria). Population was 2884 comprised 300level-would-be teachers that resumed their academic activities on arrival from Teaching Practice Experiences and Faculty of Education University Teachers. Sample was 351, selected using Yaro Yamane formula and cluster-randomsampling technique. Instrument was 37item questionnaire. Validation of the instrument was done by 4 experts (2 in measurement and evaluation, another 2 in educational management and planning). Their contributions were incorporated before the final copies were made and used. The reliability index was .945 at P<.05 and item-mean results: 1=4.07, 2=3.6, 3=3.67, 4=3.53, 5=3.33, 6=4.3, 7=4.27, 8=4.2, 9=4.07, 10=4.13, 11=3.8, 12=3.27 and 13=4.33 from related data. Methods of data analyses included Pearson’s (rho) and descriptive statistics with statistical package for social sciences. The measuring parameters were: P< 0.05 and mean scores of ≤ 2.5 rejected and ≥2.5 accepted. Results showed a coefficient of .911. Also, there was a significant relationship between the variables studied. Conclusion was that the would-be teachers sent for teaching-practice experiences gained other experiences additionally which manifested as their recently emerged attitudes in the universities. The study recommended among others that: the would-be teachers for the teaching-practice experiences should fully participate in the teaching-practice-orientation programme organized in the faculty of education of the universities, etc.
