This study explores the forms and patterns of agency development among non-education students participating in the Teaching Campus program in Indonesia. While the program attracts students from various disciplines, little research has examined how those without pedagogical backgrounds navigate educational duties. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study involved 28 non-education students, with data collected through interviews, documentation, and focus group discussions. Thematic analysis revealed that despite initial challenges in teaching, ecological factors significantly influenced their agency development. Prior tutoring experience shaped their forms of agency, while major-related competencies served as valuable resources in implementing work programs. Additionally, institutional support, including trust and assistance from schools and collaboration among peers, played a crucial role in facilitating their adaptation. These findings highlight the importance of pedagogical and professional preparation for non-education students before program implementation. Policymakers and field supervisors should provide targeted training, and future participants should engage with alumni to develop strategies for managing educational responsibilities. This study offers insights into enhancing the effectiveness of non-education students in educational roles within the Teaching Campus program.
