| Abstract: | This study was conducted to investigate whether the use of videotape recordings is an effective method of teacher education prior to full‐time teaching practice. Two groups of students were used for the study. The first group was allowed to practice their classroom skills through micro‐teaching with the aid of video recording equipment. The second group also practised their skills through micro‐teaching but without the aid of video recording equipment. At the end of the study it was discovered that the group which used the video recording equipment had made more significant progress in the mastery of the specified teaching skills |
