The belief, which includes the ability of doing something effectively, is self-efficacy. In this study, effective learning were intended to provide the participants, by using simulation and micro-teaching techniques from current method and approaches considering internationals standarts in growing school leaders. In this context, the purpose of…

Teacher-dominated approach is still the most adopted teaching strategy in Ghanaian high schools despite the Government of Ghana's initiatives to support technology-oriented, learner-centred and interactive teaching practices. This study examined the effectiveness of simulation-based lessons in improving the teaching of high school physics by…

Objectives of this articles are to present the findings of video recorded communication between teacher candidates and peers during simulated micro-teaching. The micro-teaching activity in its entirety combines conventional face-to-face interaction, video micro-teaching, peer and instructor feedback, alongside self-reflection to undergird the…

In this study, "television program simulation" which was prepared in compliance with microteaching technique and thought to be effective in environmental education is introduced. This program was tried with 31 primary education pre-service teachers in Aksaray University in environmental education courses during 2009-2010 academic year.…

This study aims to explore the role of school-based practicum in promoting pre-service English language teachers' professional development through the use of a longitudinal design in combination with qualitative methods. To achieve this aim, pre-service teachers were asked to successively reflect on video-recordings of their micro-lessons in their…

This article calls for renewed emphasis on the use of on-campus microteaching to facilitate simultaneously preservice teachers' performance of effective teaching skills and their capability to reflect meaningfully on their emergent teaching actions. In making a case for greater focus on the implementation of microteaching in preservice teacher…

Shows how experimental approaches to adult education, such as microteaching, video-tape feedback, and simulation techniques, can be useful to educators and their students. Offers an instructional design model to be tested and modified to meet individual educational needs as a means of facilitating the use of these approaches. (DMM)

Three historical phases of research and development on microteaching and the technical skills of teaching are reviewed. Suggestions for specific research topics are discussed, including research on the role of supervisor and on the development of learner skills. (Author/JN)

Recommends improving preservice teacher assessment by providing multiple forms of on-campus laboratory experiences (e.g., microteaching, reflective teaching, simulations) that offer job-related tasks. Performance on the tasks could be assessed at multiple points and for various purposes (selecting preservice teachers and student teachers and…

This study compared the effects of an extended, systematic on-campus laboratory experience with a similarly extensive, systematic field-based experience for preservice teachers. Results suggested that laboratory teachers, but not field experience teachers, improved their ability to reflect on teaching and facilitate desired instruction. Results…
