This research explores the experience of 81 elementary pre-service teachers who transcribed their microteaching lessons during a university mathematical methods course. Pre-service teachers were required to plan and teach mathematics lessons. They audio-recorded their teaching, transcribed the recordings, wrote guided reflections, and conversed with the professor to identify areas of strength and growth in their teaching. The following themes were identified: transcription as noticing events, transcription as noticing presentation, benefits of transcription, transcription as a reflective practice, and audio-recording and transcription recommendations. Transcriptions may be effective tools for reflecting about teaching.
