The Effects of Microteaching Practices on Pre-service EFL Teachers’ Professional Self-efficacy Development
Öz
The microteaching practice followed in undergraduate level has been a topic of increasing investigation. Literature presents studies on the effects of microteaching on pre-service teachers’ communicative skills, their teaching skills and the advantages and disadvantages of the process. However, there is still scarcity in research examining how microteaching practices affect the self-efficacy levels of pre-service English teachers, especially in the Turkish context. This qualitative case study examined the effects of microteaching experiences on the pre-service EFL teachers’ professional self-efficacy. The data were collected through the participants’ (N=45) answers to open-ended questions, instructor observation notes and peer observation notes. The content analysis of the data revealed that microteaching mostly helped the participants develop their self-efficacy. Such components of the practice as planning and designing a lesson, taking the teacher role, controlling a classroom, receiving feedback and having the chance to realize the strengths and weaknesses were the major contributors to the participants’ self-efficacy. However, some of the participants considered microteaching as a practice negatively affecting their professional self-efficacy. The findings are discussed in the light of relevant literature and some implications are suggested.
