Abstract
The main objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Micro-teaching program in improving the teaching skills of students majoring at PETE for Elementary Schools. The teaching skills of these prospective teachers are developed through the ^teaching and pedagogical skills development^ courses followed by micro-teaching at the same semester. The research was conducted by assigning students taking Micro teaching course which are directed at mastering teaching skills in the class-opening phase, the core learning phase, and the class-closing phase. In addition to the teaching skills, students^ teacher value orientation (TVO) improvement was also measured using the Value Orientation Inventory-Short Form (VOI-SF). VOI consisted of 50 questions divided into 10 question settings in 5 levels of elaboration. The results of the study revealed that teaching skills increased rapidly and there was a change in the value orientation of prospective teachers, from previously oriented toward the Disciplinary Mastery orientation, shifting towards to the Learning Process orientation. However, serious efforts were needed from the PETE for Elementary School program so that these teaching skills could continue to be developed by providing supportive programs, including accommodating changes to the demands of the birth of the Independent Curriculum. This research is also intended to see the influence of an independent curriculum in Physical Education lessons in schools, so that the acquisition of teaching competencies from students can be realized in a more directed and purposeful manner.
