Abstract
Micro teaching practices (MT) were carried out with one hundred and fifteen female students of first grade at the training school for kindergarten teachers. We identified five MT effective factors - the total effect of the lesson, how much the student teachers learnt by themselves and how self-motivated they were, how observant they were on the learning process, the feedback from their lesson planning, and understanding the difficulties faced during the actual practice -. We made sub-categories from the these factors on the Scale of the Effect of Micro Teaching on Kindergarten Student Teachers (EMTKS) . It should be pointed out that one student-teacher in a group would give two different lessons and then the other colleagues in the group observe her lessons. It was later possible to show the effect on the student-teacher of teaching and observing in EMTKS. In conclusion it is reasonable to maintain that this method is useful for kindergarten student-teachers not only to improve their teaching skills, but also to become more aware of the process of selflearning and the level of their own motivation.
