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…

Microteaching, an efficient teacher training technique, provides teachers an opportunity to enhance their teaching competencies. This study explored the effects of microteaching on the teaching skills of the pre-service teachers at a college of education in Bhutan. The study pursued a mixed mode of research methodology adopting a…

Reflective practices in pre-service teacher education enables teachers to evaluate their pedagogical skills. This study aimed to integrate different assessment techniques such as peer assessment, lecturer assessment and self-assessment in a microteaching setting. Using 20 pre-service teachers' post-microteaching (MT) reflection, we explored how…

For many years, microteaching has been acknowledged as one the best training techniques in teacher education. It is a useful tool to apply theory into practice and to help teacher trainees develop their teaching skills. Yet there are some constraints observed in traditional microteaching. The two most important and common restrictions are limited…

This article evaluates whether providing coaching between practice sessions in teacher education courses leads to more rapid development of skills and changes in teachers' beliefs about student behavior, using mixed-reality simulations as a practice space and standardized assessment platform. We randomly assigned 105 prospective teachers to…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of micro-teaching practices with the VuStat program on the techno-pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics teacher candidates. Participants of the study consisted of ten mathematics teacher candidates who continued to fourth grade. Teacher candidates were informed the features and use of the…

The present research aims to examine the effect of reflective teaching practices on prospective teachers' performance. Reflective teaching practice helps teachers to plan, implement and improve their performance by rethinking about their strengths and weaknesses. An experimental study within an action research was conducted by the researchers. All…

The third pillar of technology infusion is practice, providing numerous opportunities in multiple settings for teacher candidates to practice teaching with technology and to reflect on their experiences. Drawing from sociocultural theories of learning and change, this article offers a theoretical justification of this pillar and unpacks how…

This study investigated the factor structure of the intern keys teacher candidate assessment instrument used to assess micro-teaching performance of teacher candidates. In other words, the purpose of the current study was to explore the construct validity of the assessment tool which is considered to consist of one overarching construct: teaching…

Microteaching and reflection remains an important technique that pre-service student teachers can use to practice their teaching in a safe environment. However, improvements in teaching are not guaranteed without the support and feedback from peers. Previous studies suggest that a learning community supported by information technology promotes…

Student Teachers' beliefs and their teaching behaviors are interactive and closely related. Student teachers' any adoption of teaching methods in micro-teaching or teaching practicum is largely hidden behind their beliefs. In this paper, starting with the origin and changes of methods in language teaching method era, the author explains certain…

Performances and artefacts of student learning provide tangible evidence of their understanding of classroom instruction. Hattie (2012, 2015) uses the term "visible learning" to focus attention on the need for teachers to gather and consider these as evidence of students' ongoing learning, linking these tightly to teachers' pedagogical…

This research aimed to describe pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics pre-service teacher through the lesson study application in microteaching. This descriptive qualitative research was conducted in Universitas PGRI Madiun with Mathematics pre-service teachers as subjects. The data were collected through observation, unstructured…

This study examined the impact of microteaching experiences of preservice elementary teachers enrolled in a science teaching methods course. The microteaching lessons targeted the physical science concepts represented in the Texas Educational Agency's exam for early childhood through sixth grade teacher certification. The results of this study…
