ABSTRACT
Microteaching has been viewed as a professional development tool that gives pre-service teachers
the chance to strengthen their teaching skills. This paper presents an overview of the research on
microteaching in mathematics teacher education, noting its prospects and challenges while also
making recommendations for modifications to its application. A thorough analysis of 28 empirical
papers on microteaching in mathematics teacher preparation that were published between 2000
and 12 May 2023, was conducted. Findings demonstrate that microteaching is an effective
approach for enhancing pre-service teachers’ core mathematics teaching skills. It is suggested
that microteaching, which begins in a laboratory setting with the development of essential
teaching skills, should not end there; it should give trainee teachers an opportunity to learn and
practice in a real classroom context. Microteaching activities require more time, more supervisors,
and more resources to function at its maximum capacity. Technology has also demonstrated
greater promise when it comes to enhancing microteaching’s position in facilitating the
development of pre-service mathematics teachers’ instructional skills.
