The participants were (30) teachers of gifted students in Ar’ar. They were divided into two groups: experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The experimental group was trained by microteaching technique while control group was trained by traditional technique. Results revealed the following findings:
- A significant differences were found between both experimental and control groups in the level of competencies of knowledge, performance skills, and attitudes. The differences were in favor of the experimental group.
