This research investigates the attitude of the Third and Fourth Year student teachers in Science Programs from Faculty of Education, UiTM. The objectives of this study is to gather student teachers’ attitude towards microteaching subject and to identify the difference in attitude about microteaching among Third and Fourth Year Science student teachers. Eighty Science student teachers were involved in this study. The respondents from Fourth Year of study had completed their microteaching course and had done their practical teaching in school during previous semester while the Third Year Science students only completed their microteaching course. Each respondent answered a set of questionnaires consisted of 40 items made up of three parts which are demographic information, student’s attitude and open-ended questions. The findings of the study indicate that the student teachers have mixed attitude towards microteaching that warrant further studies.
