Abstract

Abstract The study aims to investigate the effect of micro teaching technique on teacher candidates’ beliefs regarding teaching mathematics and on their views regarding classroom instruction. The study was undertaken during the fall semester of 2011-2012 educational year with 40 primary school pre-service mathematics teachers enrolled in “Special Teaching Methods II” course. Teacher candidates presented lessons by using the micro teaching technique during the course. The implementation lasted for 10 weeks. The presentations that were recorded were later watched to criticize teacher candidates and discuss more effective lesson presentations. Findings show that teacher candidates like micro teaching implementations with the help of which they acquire information regarding teaching skills. Self confidence levels and teaching skills of teacher candidates were observed to increase as well.
