The population in this study consisted of 180 sixth-semester students enrolled in the Microteaching course, with a random sample of 45 students (25%) selected. Data collection techniques utilized an observation sheet for basic teaching skills. The results indicated that, on average, the basic teaching skill scores of prospective biology teachers were 62.47 (± 6.61), falling into the “adequate” category. Longitudinal studies provide authentic data that can also be used to measure various classroom learning activities.
