Microteaching--an innovative teaching method in which students deliver a mini-lesson to a small group of peers within a limited timeframe to develop specific teaching skills and refine pedagogical behaviors--has been implemented in teacher education and training for half a century. This qualitative study explored the views of 10 graduate students…

We investigated the effect of short-term teaching (3 weeks) using image analysis on gymnasium/secondary school students' (ISCED3A) skills (science process skills, SPS) and knowledge using Fiji (ImageJ) software. The theoretical teaching was combined with IT-based education (measurement of the area or signal intensity on photos from scientific…

Responding to the need for fine-grained investigation of what adaptive teaching entails, this article reports on 88 qualitative lesson observations with highly competent teachers. The findings illustrate how, amidst the unpredictable flow of classroom life, the participant teachers fashioned a power dynamic with students that was asymmetric and…

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) begins to develop during teacher education and the teaching practicum reinforces its development. This study is an interpretive inquiry into pre-service mathematics teachers' practicum classrooms. The study explored four pre-service mathematics teachers' PCK through observations and interviews. The pre-service…

In online microteaching, pre-service teachers (PSTs) deliver lessons through online platforms, thus acquiring valuable experience in effective use of technological tools. In refining these experiences, it is crucial for the PSTs to undergo self-, peer, and tutor assessments. This study examined the concordance among self-, peer, and tutor…

Background/purpose: The marginalization of art education globally has prompted concerns about the instructional competence of art teachers. This study probed the potential of microteaching lesson study as a remedy, with a novel integration of generative artificial intelligence. Materials/methods: This was a pre-test/post-test controlled study with…

Pre-service teachers' self-efficacy growth utilizing reflective practice, particularly amidst sudden onlineness, seems not to have been well studied within the Indonesian English as a foreign language context. As in-service teachers need to have some self-efficacy when facing such unprecedented changes, it is essential that reflective practice and…

This study explores how preservice English teachers in China perceive and leverage their Chinese and English linguistic repertoires in ELT methodology training, and how a reflective understanding of their use of these repertoires can contribute to their development as teachers. To understand how their practices and conceptualizations of language…
