The impact of microteaching programme towards effective teacher education programme will never be over emphasized. It is a schematize programme which has been incorporated in the teacher education curriculum majorly to empower them adequately with the require teaching skills that will enable them to showcase their practical experiences based on their area of specialization during teaching practice so as to achieve the designed objectives. The study title “Impact of Microteaching Skill of classroom Control on the Nigerian Colleges of Education Student Performance during Teaching Practice in the North-West Geo-Political Zone, Nigeria” is designed to investigate the causes of the low performance of the student teachers in showcasing the skill of classroom control during teaching practice. To achieve this, the ex-post facto research design was used. The ex-post factor research design allows for the extensive study of a phenomenon that has already taken place. Data collected was analyzed using appropriate tools in Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20 and Strata version 13. The data collected was analyzed using the descriptive tool and the result was reported in frequency and percentage table alongside mean and standard deviation. Also, regression analysis was used to test the statistical significance of the observed impact of the teaching skills on the experimental respondents. The stated hypotheses was tested at 5% level of significant i.e. 0.05 alpha level of probability.3,718 formed the population, and the sample size is 372. The findings of the study revealed that the skill of classroom control has significant impact on the performance of student teachers which aids in the achievement of the designed objectives. It is recommended that the Proper establishment of rules and regulations be mandated on students, this will ensure effective monitoring of students’ behaviour.
