On-the-Spot Corrections in Microteaching: A Film-Shot Approach to Teacher Skill Enhancement

This study explores an innovative approach to traditional microteaching by integrating on-the-spotcorrections, where teacher educators or peers immediately intervene to guide trainee teachers, analogous toa film director reshooting a scene. Data collected over four academic years (2006-2010) demonstrate thatthis approach significantly enhances teaching competencies among pre-service teachers. Participantsshowed average score improvements of 20-25 points between pre- and post-test assessments, indicating themethod's effectiveness in accelerating teacher skill development. Statistical analysis revealed theseimprovements were highly significant (t(99) = 38.7, p < .001, Cohen's d = 3.87), suggesting the film-shot model offers a powerful framework for closing the theory-practice gap in teacher education. **Keywords**: microteaching, immediate feedback, teacher education, pre-service teachers, reflectivepractice, skill acquisition
