This case study investigated the development of prospective mathematics teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in graphical data displays with (VM) within the context of a microteaching lesson study (MLS). This research investigated how five participants integrated technology and implemented a lesson plan aimed to teach…

Feedback plays an indispensable role in pre-service teachers' microteaching practice. It provides essential information about their microteaching performance, which is of great significance in their reflection and improvement. As AI and teaching analytics advance, feedback is no longer exclusively human-generated. AI technologies are increasingly…

The teaching-learning relationship in online microteaching was explored using mixed methods. Adults (N = 40) alternated roles of "teacher" and "student" during a 15-min language learning session. Video analysis using a context-specific framework based on the science of learning revealed diversity in teaching approaches.…

New questions and concerns arise every day about the impact of AI in schools, such as how teachers will learn about AI and leverage it in their classrooms, how they can use it to develop their own teaching expertise, and if AI for educators really leads to better teaching and learning. The authors believe that AI can help teachers become more…

Microteaching is a way of doing professional development for teachers wanting to incorporate new evidence-based and high-leverage practices into their instructional toolboxes. Given how much work is required in teaching and the limited time professionals have available, microteaching is an accessible process that supports instructional improvement…

Purpose: Microteaching is a teacher training method based on microclasses (groups of four or five students) and microlessons lasting no more than 5-20 min. Since it was first explored in the late 20th century in experiments at Stanford University, microteaching has evolved at the interdisciplinary level. The purpose of this paper is to examine the…

Virtual Reality (VR) shows the potential to tackle the limitations and deficiencies of traditional microteaching training by offering an intricate and lifelike environment that helps pre-service teachers to develop their teaching skills. However, the effects of VR training on each teaching skill sub-dimension remain inconclusive. This study…

Due to the emergence of Covid-19, many educators moved from a face-to-face teaching environment to an online microteaching setting using Zoom. This study explores pre-service teachers' perspectives on microteaching within Zoom's breakout rooms. The authors approached this study from a positivist-postpositivist perspective employing a mixed-methods…

In this study, it is aimed to examine the cognitive structures of pre-service science teachers regarding the concept of "micro teaching". The study was carried out with 25 teacher candidates studying in the 4th grade of science teaching at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University Faculty of Education in a 4-week period within the scope of the…

This paper describes and evaluates student teachers' virtual simulation training on teaching a controversial issue. In the fourth year of their program to become social science teachers at lower and upper secondary schools, 43 student teachers in Sweden conducted simulation teaching on conspiracy theories as an example of a controversial issue.…

Background: Teachers must have the skills to find, select, design and use technology-based mathematical activities that focus on high-level cognitive demands--supporting student reasoning. However, they experience various difficulties in creating, planning and making decisions about how and when to utilize technological affordances. Objectives:…

Microteaching is a significant way to prepare pre-service teachers to overcome specific challenges in a natural classroom environment. It is widely accepted that pre-service science teachers gain pedagogical benefits from microteaching activities. Furthermore, microteaching enhances the conceptual understanding of the presenter on the related…

This scoping review investigates the potential of bite-sized learning approach in music education. The review identified articles from Scopus and ERIC databases, revealing that bite-sized learning is widely discussed in the field of ICT, mathematics, and medicine. Bite-sized learning is pedagogical and pragmatic, providing easy access,…

Teachers who know what, how and why to teach are essential for successful student learning. However, many preservice teachers (PSTs) lack teaching experience and the ability to integrate theory and practice. To help bridge this gap, this study employed a learning-by-design project approach in which 22 Korean PSTs developed lesson plans for middle…

This research reports on science pre-service teachers' (PSTs) perceptions and attitudes towards a virtual reality classroom, with the rationale being to elaborate on the pedagogical affordances of technology in the micro-teaching practices of PSTs. A purposeful sample of eighty-three preservice science teachers from a major South African…
