The participants of the study consisted of 70 pre-service teachers (64.3% females, 35.7% males) in the Turkish language teacher education program at a public university in the north of Turkey. In the study, an experimental and a control group and a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design were used to determine the impact of microteaching on the critical thinking dispositions of the preservice teachers in the teacher education program. The results revealed that the pre-service teachers in the experimental group showed statistically  \nsignificant greater progress in terms of critical thinking dispositions than those in the control group. Teacher educators in teacher education programs should plan and implement microteaching in the pedagogical courses to  \nimprove pre-service teachers’ critical thinking dispositions.  \nIntroduction  \nThere are many objectives related to critical thinking skills and dispositions in school programs (Bensley, 2011). Thus, it is important for teachers to improve the critical thinking skills of their students (Halpern, 2001; Schamber & Mahoney, 2006) . Teachers who have critical thinking skills can better improve their students’ critical thinking skills (Evans, 2008; Fullan, 2001). Therefore, teachers need to be models of critical thinking and to encourage students by sharing their knowledge, skills and beliefs (Herrenkohl & Wertsch, 1999;  \nIronside, 2006) .  \nThe report of the European Union (EU) Commission emphasizes the importance of high-level thinking skills for teachers. These skills include reflective, critical thinking and metacognition skills. The general teacher competences defined by the EU Commission include critical thinking skills and dispositions and are references for both the initial teacher education and the continuous professional development of teachers in Europe (European Commission, 2013) . The teacher competences of the EU Commission are also references for teacher education programs in Turkey, which is a candidate member country for the EU. Furthermore, the general teacher competences defined by the Minister of National Education in Turkey include critical thinking skills and dispositions. For example, the following competence is directly related to the critical thinking skills and dispositions of teachers:  \n“Teachers have a high level of thinking skills such as critical thinking and problem solving”(MEB, 2012, p.12) . If pre-service teachers have critical thinking skills and dispositions while they are in the initial teacher education program, they can plan and implement future teaching activities that will improve their students’ critical thinking skills and dispositions. Pre-service teachers can acquire critical thinking skills and dispositions through learning experiences planned by teacher educators (Paul, 1995) . For this reason, it is important for teacher educators to design a teaching environment, implement teaching activities, use student  \nVol 40, 3, March 201","cbCaik6NrALeKXQq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik6NrALeKXQq","pdf",148646,15,"English","# Introduction\n## Theoretical Framework of the Study\n### Critical Thinking","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To examine the effects of microteaching on pre-service teachers’ critical thinking dispositions.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study designed and who participated?\",\"answer\":\"A pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design used an experimental and a control group, involving 70 pre-service teachers in a Turkish language teacher education program.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key findings regarding critical thinking dispositions?\",\"answer\":\"The experimental group showed statistically significant greater progress in critical thinking dispositions than the control group.\"}]","The Effects of Microteaching on the Critical Thinking Dispositions of Pre-service Teachers | PDF",1792079442,38]
