Abstract

In
the last decade, traditional programs applied in teacher education in the light
of rapidly developing technological developments are no longer able to provide
all necessary qualifications needed by the candidate teachers in meeting the
21st century community demands during the teaching process. In this respect, it
is necessary to increase the related equipment and awareness of the students
while they are teacher candidates in the period of teacher training which is in
teaching profession and preparation. This work; The purpose of this study was
to investigate the effect of technology assisted micro-teaching practices on
the perceptions of social studies teacher candidates on technology usage.
Qualitative research techniques were utilized in the research. The study group
of the study consisted of 4th grade social studies teacher candidates (n = 45).
The data were obtained using the semi-structured interview form. The data were
interpreted with descriptive analysis technique. They found that knowledge
about selecting or preparing technological tools for the use of intelligent
boarding and lecture presentation was the most increased in the direction of
findings from the research. As a result of technology-assisted micro-teaching
practices, it has been seen that teacher candidates perceive themselves
adequately for the use of technology and there is a slight increase in their
perceptions after their implementation. In the light of the emerging
conclusions, proposals are presented such that the courses containing these
applications which contribute to the field of technology use in the classroom
should be given more place in the teaching of social studies.
