Abstract

Reflection, especially, self-reflection is in education considered as thinking about one’s own acting and looking back to one’s own performance. It is an essential factor in teachers’ professional development. However, self-reflection may be used also when preparing future teachers. It is beneficial for pre-service teachers to see their own teaching and to reflect on it. One of the ways how to use self-reflection as a teaching tool in teacher training programmes is videotaping of microteaching. Videotaping may reveal not only the mistakes but also inadvertent gestures, movements or frequently used words. The students of teaching training programmes at University of Prešov use videotaping of their microteaching and their reactions are rather positive. Majority of them commented that watching themselves in action is helpful and useful for their improvement in teaching practice.
