The Study on Micro Teaching in a Training School for Kindergarten Teachers II : Teaching Skills, Recognition of the Results of Micro Teaching Practice, and Infant Behaviors

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. They were divided into fourteen groups. One student-teacher selected in each of the groups gave two different lessons for about eight kindergarteners. We found that environmental arrangement in teaching skills was improved by giving MT repeatedly, but that the other skills were not improved progressed. However, as a result of researching the relations between teaching skills and recognition of the results of MT, it is found that teaching skills were improved by feeling how much the student teachers learnt by themselves and how self-motivated they were, but that teaching skills were made worse by understanding to the difficulties faced during the actual practice. We think it is important for beginners to enjoy their nursing.
