Innovations in Microteaching Through Digital or Video-Based Approaches

Advances in technology have brought new innovations to microteaching, especially through digital and video-based approaches. These methods allow teachers to record their teaching sessions, analyze their performance, and receive feedback more effectively.

Video-based microteaching enables teachers to review their body language, voice tone, timing, and interaction patterns. This self-observation provides deeper insights than real-time reflection, as teachers can revisit specific moments to identify strengths and challenges.

Digital platforms also support remote microteaching sessions. Teachers can conduct mini-lessons through video conferencing tools, allowing peers and supervisors to observe and evaluate their performance even from a distance. This increases accessibility and flexibility in teacher training.

Furthermore, interactive digital tools—such as virtual classrooms, animated teaching aids, and online simulations—enhance the realism of microteaching experiences. These tools help teachers practice using technology that is increasingly integrated into modern classrooms.

Incorporating digital innovations into microteaching strengthens teacher preparation and promotes 21st-century teaching competencies. It ensures that future educators are adaptable, technologically skilled, and ready to meet the evolving needs of early childhood education.
