pupils.
1.2Definition
‘’scaled down teaching encounter in class size, class time &
content’’

 Relativelynew concept
 It is a teacher training technique
 A single skill for practice
 One concept of content for teaching
 A class of 5-10 students
 5-10 min of practice time
 Teaching is observable, measureable and controllable
teaching skills
 Provides teacher with an intense ‘’the microscopic view of
their teaching’’
 Provide adequatefeedback
 Teacher prepare a short lesson for a small group of
learners which was video taped

1.4Advantages
 Receiving immediate feedback is a means to determine
productivity
 Allow for asking questionsat variousdifficulty levels
 Teachers’ self-confidence grows in a comfortable
environment
 Makes it possible to create an environment that involves
thinking differently and interaction
 It offers helpful situationfor an experienced or

1.5Disadvantages
 Un realistic situation
 An artificialinteraction
 Cannot form a very clear image of the real teaching
situation
 Pupilscan easily become bored
 Cannot reap the full advantageof developingself
confidence
 Time consuming
2PROGRAMMED LEARNING
2.1Introduction
It is a method of giving or receiving individualizedinstructions.
It keeps in view their individual differences.
The learners’ moves at his/her own speed.
It gives the learner an immediate feedback.
2.2Definition
‘’Programmed learning is a systematic, step by step,
self-instructional programmed aimed to ensure the
learning of stated behavior’’

2.3ADVANTAGES
 It helps the students in learning by doing
 It helpsthe students to learn in the absence of teacher
 It helpsthe students in assessing theirown performance
themselves’ by comparing it with given answers
 It helpsthe student to learn at their own pace
 It is systematic and sequenced
 It provides immediate feedback
 It improves the qualityof educationin general
2.4DISADVANTAGES
 IT DOES not ensures learning process whether learning is
takes place or not
 It is very difficult to develop an instructionalprogramme
 Only cognitive objectives can be achieved not in behavioral
change
 It restrict the learner’s freedom of choice
 It is highly economical
 It cannot be appliedat primary level of educationor at

3SIMULATED TEACHING
3.1Introduction
The word simulated means to imitate exactly. Simulationin teaching
has recently entered the field of education.The teacher is trained
practicallyand also imparted theoretical learning. The pupil-teacher
needs to be trained in simulatedsituationsbefore sending him to school
for teaching practice. He has to play the role of teaching in an artificially
created environment. After that he should be sent to the school. In this
way the teacher will be able to teach in an excellent manner.
3.2definition
‘’Simulationmeans role playingor rehearsal in which
the process of teaching is carried out artificially.It is
based on socio drama. The main aspect of simulation
in teaching is the introductionof a student-teacher to
teaching in non-stressful conditions.’’
3.3advantages
Students-teacher are helped in a variety of ways through this
technique
 This helpsin linkingtheory with practice of teaching
 It helpsin developingself confidence among them
 They are given an opportunityto study and analyze critical
teaching problems
 The feedback which help them to modify their behavior

 It helpsin developingsocial skillslike manners and
etiquettes among them
 It helpsin developingefficiency in them and in predicting
consequences before going to actualclassroom
3.4disadvantages
 In simulationrole playingis done in an artificialmanner
 It is like socio drama or sort of gaming which reduces
seriousness.
 No emphasisis given on teaching skill.
 It requires the supervision by trainingpersonnel which are
generally not available.
 This techniqueis very complex and difficult.
