The present study aims to unveil what kind of self-regulated strategic processes student teachers go through before, during, and after their micro-teachings. To this end, the study was carried out with six third-grade student teachers enrolled in an English Language Teaching Programme at a state university in Ankara, Turkey. Data were collected…

When considering the characteristics that teachers should have, concepts such as critical thinking, active learning, taking responsibility, evaluation, analysis, self-evaluation and reflective thinking are important. In this context, microteaching and peer assessment methods come to the fore. Microteaching is defined as sharing a part of the…

Recently, there has been a concern in many parts of the world about the teaching strategies employed at higher education institutions (HEI). Empirical evidence shows that pedagogical practices affect the student engagement and academic excellence. Despite progress on the new innovative pedagogies globally, Somaliland HEI are still struggling with…

Students with special educational needs (SEN) are often left behind in science education, and research largely ignores this population. In particular, very limited research examines the intersection between the nature of science (NOS) and special education (SPED). To address this gap, the study investigated 18 preservice SPED teachers' NOS plans…

This study aims to examine the effect of applying the Collaborative Problem Solving (CoLPS) and Collaborative Project-Based Learning (CPBL) models in improving the project competence of pre-service teachers students in microteaching classes. The research design used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The…

The aim of this study was twofold: (a) To carry out an in-depth investigation of pre-service teachers (PTs) beliefs regarding creativity and the perceived barriers of creative processes within early childhood education, and (b) To examine the extent to which PTs reflect their creativity within their pedagogical practices. The participants (n = 45)…

Reform efforts in K-12 science education have been gaining pace ever since the introduction of the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS). The new vision calls for reconsidering teacher preparation programs to prepare future teachers who are confident and competent in delivering NGSS-based instruction. This study investigated the…

This study investigated how pre-service teachers perceive and plan to use a virtual reality classroom for science teaching during microteaching practices. The UTAUT 2 model was adopted as the conceptual framework for this study. Data were collected through an online survey from eighty-three pre-service science teachers from a large metropolitan…

Purpose: The study explores how pre-service teachers engage in "Tong Ke Yi Gou" ("Same lesson and different design") as a Chinese version of lesson study in a language teacher education course. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from multiple sources, including semi-structured interviews, field observations, as…

The study examines how the pre-service English language teachers at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences (UTAS)-AL-rustaq perceive the notion of a 'good language teacher' before and after they undertake microteaching practices. Qualitative research was employed to answer the main research questions of the study, which is what are…

Specific to the topic of oxidation-reduction (redox), teachers are obligated by the discipline to prioritise symbolic traditions such as writing equations, documenting oxidation states, and describing changes (e.g., what undergoes oxidation/reduction). Although the chemistry education research community endorses connecting the vertices of…

Video recordings have been used in pre-service teacher preparation programs to facilitate greater self-reflection through pre-service teachers' observation of their own and their peers' microteaching. Few studies have, however, examined the perceptions of pre-service teachers regarding the use of peer feedback reaction videos on their…

The current study employed many-facet Rasch measurement (MFRM) to explain the rater bias patterns of EFL student teachers (hereafter students) when they rate the teaching performance of their peers in three assessment environments: online, face-to-face, and anonymous. Twenty-four students and two instructors rated 72 micro-teachings performed by…

Microteaching, one of the teacher training techniques in-use to help pre-service teachers gain knowledge and experience with teaching, is conventionally provided on-campus. However, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a switch to remote education, thereby moving teacher training practices to online platforms. This novel situation indicated a need…

The objective of this article is to present the findings of video recorded communication between candidates in a graduate initial teaching licensure (GITL) program and peers during simulated micro-teaching across three consecutive seminar quarter. The micro-teaching activity combines conventional face-to-face interaction, video micro-teaching,…
