Penerapan Micro Teaching dalam Meningkatkan Kompetensi Pedagogik Calon Guru

Abstract

Micro teaching is a training method designed to improve the pedagogical competence of prospective teachers through teaching practice in a small and controlled setting. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing micro teaching in enhancing the pedagogical competence of prospective teachers, which includes the ability to plan lessons, carry out the learning process, and evaluate learning outcomes. The method used is a descriptive approach with data collected through observation, performance assessment, and participant self-reflection. The results show that the implementation of micro teaching is able to improve prospective teachers’ understanding of effective teaching strategies, classroom communication skills, as well as their ability to manage time and interact with students. In addition, feedback activities from lecturers and peers play an important role in improving the quality of teaching. Therefore, micro teaching is proven to be an effective means of preparing prospective teachers to become pedagogically competent before entering real classroom environments.
