Abstract
Microteaching is a valuable technique for training future teachers in a controlled environment. Implemented
in the University of Barcelona’s Preservice Science Teachers master’s program, it aimed to develop
communicative skills and promote self-assessment through peer feedback and self-reflection. Participants
delivered a 5-7-minute microteaching session on a high school chemistry topic. Peers conducted qualitative
and quantitative evaluations using ICT tools, with qualitative assessment employing the two stars and a wish
technique. The quantitative data was statistically analyzed to detect severity and leniency biases. In addition
to peer assessment, students self-assessed their sessions, reflecting on preparation, time management, practical
examples, addressing student needs, and classroom interaction. They appreciated learning from peers and receiving
constructive feedback. Qualitative feedback was valued more than quantitative, but identifying biases
was considered helpful to maintain a balanced approach when assessing and enables improvement in teaching
and learning quality. Microteaching activities combined with formative assessment and self-reflection effectively
enhance teaching and communication skills. They also promote self-assessment and encourage learning
as prospective teachers by allowing them to learn from each other, receive constructive feedback, and examine
their strengths and areas for improvement, including overcoming excessive severity or leniency as evaluators.
