Abstract

This qualitative research aimed to know types of verbal and non-verbal reinforcement given by student teachers in microteaching class and to describe the way student teachers give the reinforcements during their teaching practice in microteaching class. The data were collected through observation, interview and student teachers’ teaching practice videos by involving 8 student teachers from A-H microteaching classes. This research revealed that student teachers gave both verbal and non-verbal reinforcement. Furthermore, the finding also showed that student teachers gave reinforcement through four ways such as to individual, to group, as soon as students performed desirable behavior and use reinforcement in various types and patterns. This research suggests that student teachers need to pay attention on keeping eye contact, mentioning student’s name, and stating students’ wished behavior while giving reinforcement.
