Abstract


This article aims to examine the contributions, underlying mechanisms, and potential strategies for optimizing microteaching through a synthesis of previous studies. The study adopts a qualitative integrative literature review approach, employing thematic synthesis of recent academic publications. The analysis focuses on the development of instructional skills, feedback and reflection, implementation conditions, and the relationship between simulated practice and authentic physical education teaching.
The synthesis identifies four interrelated themes: pedagogical skill development; feedback and reflective practice; enabling and constraining conditions; and the integration of practice, revision, and repeated teaching. These themes inform the proposed PJKR–Physical Education Microteaching Optimization Cycle, which consists of five stages: pedagogical planning, simulation, observation and feedback, critical reflection and revision, and repeated practice with evaluation. Conceptually, microteaching optimization should prioritize the quality of pedagogical decision-making rather than merely the frequency or fluency of teaching performances. The proposed framework is intended to inform course design, assessment practices, and future empirical investigations. However, it should not be interpreted as an experimentally validated intervention. Comprehensive database screening and study-level quality appraisal remain necessary before this draft can be presented as a completed integrative literature review.
