Abstract

In this study, ‘television program simulation’ which was prepared in compliance with microteaching technique and thought to be effective in environmental education is introduced. This program was tried with 31 primary education pre-service teachers in Aksaray University in environmental education courses during 2009-2010 academic year. As a consequence of this study carried out according to pretest-posttest design, it was found that the pre-service teachers’ views of lecturing changed positively and their worries decreased after the application. In light of the findings of the present study, it is suggested that television program that is arranged in compliance with microteaching technique should be frequently used in environmental education.

Keywords: microteaching, pre-service teacher, environmental education.
