Abstract

How can we foster pedagogical students’ teaching competence when Natural Science becomes an integrated subject at lower secondary schools in the 2018 General Education Curriculum? This article proposes a process for fostering integrated teaching competence in Natural Science - the core pedagogical competence of pre-service Natural Science teachers. The study employs theoretical research methods from the authors’ studies on the process of fostering teaching competence, along with an analysis of the theoretical framework of integrated teaching competence. Building on the application of micro-teaching - an effective pedagogical training method for developing teaching skills in pedagogical students; and blended learning - a form of teaching that combines online and face-to-face learning activities to improve teaching effectiveness. The research has proposed a 7-step process for applying micro-teaching and building processes of 2 stages of fostering competence components and behavioral indicators of integrated teaching competence of pre-service Natural Science teachers. The research results contribute to guidance in organizing teaching modules to foster the integrated teaching competence of pre-service teachers.
