This study explores the professional practices of teacher candidates in implementing SPN 21 Art and Design education in Brunei secondary classrooms. The four teacher candidates, two males and two females, aged 25 to 35, participated in this study and are enrolled in the Master of Teaching programme specialised in Art and Design Education, cohorts 2023 and 2024. They are full-time students and the only candidates selected for these cohorts. They are not required to have prior teaching experience. All candidates hold a bachelor's degree in art except one with a background in art. This study employs a qualitative case study approach. Data are collected through classroom observations, focusing on three pedagogical approaches: problem-based learning, collaborative learning, and technology integration. All data are analysed using thematic analysis. The findings identify themes such as implementing innovative pedagogical approaches, classroom management challenges, professional needs, and students' engagement and learning. Unlike previous research, this study focuses on the latest data on practical applications of SPN 21 of teacher candidates in Brunei. The findings of this study are significant, providing valuable insights into teacher training and implementation, curriculum developments, and improvements. The study demonstrates that teacher candidates have successfully integrated the SPN 21 Art and Design principles, such as the basic knowledge of art, into their innovative teaching practices through problem-based and collaborative learning. The findings also highlight that integrating technology into art teaching and design encourages students to participate in art actively and provides a better understanding of artistic expression in producing quality artwork.
