THE OPINIONS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER CANDIDATES ABOUT THE USE OF EXTENDED MICRO TEACHING METHOD * Serdarhan Musa TAŞKAYA ** ABSTRACT Various methods are used in teacher training. One of these methods is micro-teaching. Presentation of the teacher candidate is monitored by his/her friends and the advisor in micro teaching. Then criticism is made about this presentation. Micro-teaching is a supervised professional action. This method is preferable because it combines theory and practice, enables teachers and prospective teachers to see their own teaching styles and create an opportunity to correct their missing aspects-if there are any. There are various ways of application in the use of micro-teaching. Sometimes re-education phase is carried out immediately after the first application, and sometimes a day or a week later. In some applications, because of the time or technical failure, re- teaching and video shooting cannot be done. Book and articles show that in Turkey, there is a large number of research related to micro teaching. However, few studies regarding the extended micro teaching practice can be found. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the extended micro teaching method in accordance with the opinions of primary school teacher candidates. The data in this study planned as an action research in survey type was collected by an open-ended questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data. 24 students studying in the fourth grade of primary school teaching department in 2013-2014 academic year participated in the research. In the study it is concluded that participants were generally satisfied with the implementation of extended micro teaching method. At the end of the research, it is proposed that extended micro teaching should be more common in primary school teaching department and teachers should be informed about it. * It was presented in 4th International Conference on Primary Education in 18-24 September 2017 (Andalusia-SPAIN) ** Doç.
