Author(s) Faiza Khurshid

Abstract The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the microteaching intervention on the classroom management skills of prospective teachers. Microteaching is a specialized training program that provides targeted opportunities for the rehearsal and development of specific teaching skills by providing immediate feedback, room for replanting the lesson, and re-evaluation until the desired skill is achieved. For the current study, the quasi-experimental research design was employed whereas a mixed-method approach (both qualitative and quantitative) was used to collect data from the study participants. For the quantitative part, the protocol consisted of a structured observation checklist (Assessment form on classroom management skills) to rate the classroom management skills pre-and post-intervention, whereas a semi-structured interview guide was used to obtain qualitative data related to perceptions of prospective teachers on microteaching intervention. A total of 10 prospective teachers (male= 2, female= 8) enrolled in B.Ed. Program (third semester) of a public sector university in Islamabad were included in the study through the non-probability consensus sampling technique. A dependent sample t-test was employed to find the pre-and post-differences that showed significant improvement over time (M= 16.5, SD= 5.08; M= 67.30, SD= 4.47). Moreover, thematic analysis of qualitative semi-structured interviews demonstrated that most of the prospective teachers found this technique useful in boosting their confidence and improving presentation skills and suggested making it a part of their regular teaching curriculum. The findings could be applied in the educational setting as the current study had proved that micro-teaching plays a vital role in making the teacher capable enough to deal effectively in the classroom with a positive attitude and behavior which in turn enhances the academic performance of the student. The finding’s revealed that microteaching is an effective method to teach topics such as classroom management skills.
