Abstract

In online microteaching, pre-service teachers (PSTs) deliver lessons through online platforms, thus acquiring valuable experience in effective use of technological tools. In refining these experiences, it is crucial for the PSTs to undergo self-, peer, and tutor assessments. This study examined the concordance among self-, peer, and tutor assessments in online microteaching practices, along with students’ views on their online microteaching experiences. A case study model was adopted, involving doctoral students enrolled in the Planning and Evaluation in Instruction course. The findings indicated alignment between students’ self-assessment and peer assessment, albeit with lower scores compared to those provided by the course tutor. Overall, students expressed positive views regarding online microteaching. They highlighted the benefits of critical thinking, self-reflection, and peer feedback in refining their teaching strategies. However, challenges such as time management, communication, and planning were noted by the students.
