In this study, it is aimed to examine the cognitive structures of pre-service science teachers regarding the concept of "micro teaching". The study was carried out with 25 teacher candidates studying in the 4th grade of science teaching at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University Faculty of Education in a 4-week period within the scope of the…

Microteaching is a significant way to prepare pre-service teachers to overcome specific challenges in a natural classroom environment. It is widely accepted that pre-service science teachers gain pedagogical benefits from microteaching activities. Furthermore, microteaching enhances the conceptual understanding of the presenter on the related…

This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of an action plan applied for increasing the level of the strategy, model, method-technique knowledge, and planning and implementation skills of prospective Science teachers. The action research method was used in the study. The participant group consisted of pre-service science teachers…

The aim of this study was to determine the professional developments of science teacher candidates over 14 weeks of microteaching practices. The sample for the study was comprised of 9 teacher candidates aged 21-23 who were studying their final year (4th year) in an elementary science education undergraduate programme of an education faculty in…

This study assesses the performance of Turkish science pre-service teachers (PSTs) in a TPACK-Practical Course that consists of the training course and lesson-plan-micro-teaching stages. The subjects of the study were 46 PSTs (19 males and 27 females). In this study, after PSTs took a TPACK training course, they created a TPACK-based lesson plan…

Purpose: The research aims to explore prospective physics teachers' pedagogical knowledge (PK) through an online microteaching lesson study (OMLS). Design/methodology/approach: The study used a case study with eight prospective physics teachers. Various data sources are triangulated involving audiovisual meeting recording, documents from OMLS…

This study investigated the nature of the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) development among 22 prospective teachers enrolled in an elementary science methods course. The nature of prospective teachers' PCK development was investigated in relation to their experiences in planning, enacting, and reflecting upon a Physical science lesson. The…

We present an empirically based model for teaching about planning in pre-service science teacher education as part of on-campus courses. Planning is usually taught through the introduction of theoretically based planning models, but these models commonly assume a linear idea of planning that does not match how teachers go about planning. We…

Although microteaching is a common approach to engaging preservice teachers in reflection on teaching in on-campus courses, this reflection is usually carried out as a separate part. We examined how preservice middle school science teachers reflected amid planning a 20-min microteaching unit on sustainable development. Six groups of preservice…

In this study, we aimed to investigate prospective science teachers? development of self-efficacy beliefs for teaching during Teaching Practice Course. Besides regular implementations such as teaching practice in real classrooms and mentoring, a Teaching Practice Course enriched with microteaching supported by video-cases was designed. The…

Science teaching efficacy belief (STEB) is of paramount importance as it motivates teachers to teach science or hinders them from teaching science. Preservice teachers' efficacy beliefs may change during their method courses. Knowing how pre-service teachers' beliefs change over time can significantly contribute to teacher educators to improve…

Microteaching practice is an important part of Pre-Service Physics Teacher (PsPT) Training Program adopting different approaches to inspire the acquisition of teaching skills by prospective teachers. Using psychomotor domain aspect of revised Bloom's taxonomy to explore microteaching practice as it relates to physics teaching, this research…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of a microteaching lesson study on pre-service chemistry teachers' collective pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) regarding solubility concepts. Three pre-service chemistry teachers participated in this study. Data were collected by means of lesson plans, semi-structured interviews,…

What teachers believe about their own effectiveness in the classroom influences what and how they teach, so teacher preparation programs should work to cultivate strong self-efficacy beliefs (SEBs) in future teachers. I designed a science content course for future elementary teachers around the simultaneous goals of teaching science content and…

A research on the effects of the microteaching Multiple-Representation Lesson Study (MRLS) on pre-service Physics teachers' critical thinking was conducted using a pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design. Eighteen fourth year Bachelor of Secondary Education-Physical Science majors participated in the research. The experimental group employed…
