The aim of this study is to find out the effects of micro-reflective teaching practices on the professional skill development of pre-service physics teachers. It was planned as an experimental study with one group pretestposttest and supported by the case study method. The data were collected by using professional skill scale, observation form and reflective diaries. The sample of the study composed of 13 (6 female, 7 male) pre-service teachers were studying in a Physics Teaching Program in an education faculty in north-eastern Turkey. Each preservice teacher implemented 5 micro-reflective teaching practice within the scope of the research. These practices were recorded by the camera. At the end of each practice pre-service teachers watched themselves and wrote their reflective diaries. The data obtained from the scales and the observation form were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and the data acquired from the reflective diaries were examined based on interpretive analysis. The findings based on the data obtained from the professional skill scale, observation forms and the reflective diaries indicate that micro-reflective teaching practices help improve pre-service physics teachers’ basic professional skills; subject matter mastery, planning, communication, classroom management, and evaluation.
