Background: South African teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching and number sense are markedly low, evidenced in national and international research. There is a call for supporting teachers in developing their knowledge and confidence in teaching mathematics. Aim: The aim of this article is to share how pre-service teachers (PSTs) used the…

Elevkanalen is a web-based digital educational resource containing videos, animations, pictures, learning paths, texts, quizzes, and many features that meet the Norwegian authorities' requirements for adapted and inclusive learning issued by The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training (UDIR). The interest of this paper is to examine how…

This paper presents a seminar concept for the development of communication competence in pre-service vocational education teachers with the aid of video annotations, feedback, and peer microteaching. The seminar is offered within a teacher training program for students taking a master's degree (MEd) in vocational education at the FH Münster…

This study observed the effect of video recording of microteaching training in comparison with traditional teaching on student teachers' performance while practicing teaching. Fifty student teachers of Regional Institute for Teacher Education female Abbottabad comprised the sample of the study. Pre-test post-test equivalent group design was used…

This research aims to describe the decision-making of pre-service teacher in designing lesson plans and their implementation in learning mathematics. This type of research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Determination of subjects in this research using a purposive sampling technique. The subjects in this research are students…

The significance of reflective practice (RP) has been widely recognized in both general education and language education. The past years have witnessed an exponential growth of studies in examining how technology can be utilized to promote teachers' RP and video-based RP has been extensively reported as a powerful tool for teacher learning in many…

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…

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…

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 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…

Secondary mathematics teaching is often characterised by teacher-led pedagogies centred on practice and memorising formula which can dominate incoming pre-service teachers' perceptions of mathematics teaching. Hence, creating opportunities for pre-service teachers (PSTs) - particularly those who have not experienced student-centered pedagogies --…

Microteaching is a practice-based teaching method that can be applied at various stages in teacher training programs and it gives the opportunity to engage in self-evaluation and to eliminate or correct inadequacies of both pre-service and in-service teachers. It is believed that this study is important in determining the inadequacies of…

The COVID-19 pandemic has obliged EFL teacher trainers to find new pathways to prepare teacher trainees (TTs) for future classrooms.

Thus, this study aimed to investigate the TTs' perspectives on creating and telling…

The aim of this study is to show the effect of micro-teaching technique applied to teacher candidates in pedagogical formation program in Turkish universities on the perception of professional self-efficacy. Unequalized experiment and quasi-experimental method with control group were used in the study. The study group of the study consisted of 55…

This paper reports on pre-service teachers' experiences of using the web-based video analysis tool VideoAnt during microteaching seminars in primary science. Opportunities for pre-service teachers to observe and teach high quality primary science lessons during placement may be restricted by the focus on Numeracy and Literacy and recently reported…
