The purpose of the present study is to detect what micro-teaching provides to the pre-service teachers, and what is liked or disliked about its implementations, by obtaining the views of pre-service science teachers on micro-teaching practices in general. With this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 pre-service teachers. Pre-service teachers made presentations using micro-teaching techniques in the Special Teaching Methods I-II classes. A total of 12 pre-service teachers, who received either high or low scores from the assessment made after the practice, were selected; and their views on micro-teaching practices were obtained. According to the findings, pre-service teachers stated that micro-teaching was beneficial in performing various teaching activities, in the conduct of class management and for the teaching of various individual development skills. Also, pre-service teachers stated that the opportunity for self-evaluation was the aspect they most liked, while its creation of anxiety and the possibility of biased behavior in peer assessment were the most disliked aspects.
