ENHANCING TEACHING CONFIDENCE AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH MICRO-TEACHING: A STUDY AMONG B.ED. STUDENTS

This study explores the effectiveness of micro-teaching in enhancing teaching skills and confidence among B.Ed. students. Through structured practice sessions and feedback, micro-teaching provides a simulated teaching environment to prepare pre-service teachers for real classroom challenges. A survey was conducted using a Google Form to collect responses from B.Ed. students post micro-teaching sessions. The sample size was 75 B.Ed. students.  The findings indicate a significant improvement in self-confidence, communication skills, classroom management, and overall preparedness for teaching. The study highlights the value of integrating micro-teaching as a core component of teacher education programs
