This document discusses microteaching, which is a technique used to train teachers. Microteaching involves teaching a small topic to a small group of students for a short period of time. It breaks down the teaching process into components and allows teachers to practice individual skills. The objectives of microteaching are to help teachers learn new skills in a controlled environment, gain confidence, and receive guidance. It follows a cycle of planning, teaching, receiving feedback, and reteaching with improvements. While it helps teachers improve, it also has some limitations such as requiring motivated trainees and not guaranteeing classroom success.
4. INTRODUCTION
1. Microteaching is a teaching scaled – down in
content of the lesson, size of the class and
duration of teaching.
2. The process of teaching is broken down into its
components.
3. A teacher teaches a small topic to a small
group of students.
4. It has been used worldwide since its invention
a Stanford University in the late 1950’s by
Dwight W Allen.
5. • “A device which provides the novice and
experienced teacher alike, new opportunities to
improve teaching.”
- David B
• “It is a training technique which requires pupil-
teachers to teach a single concept using
specified teaching skills to a small number of
pupils in a short duration of time”
- Passi B K
Definition’s
6. OBJECTIVES
• To enable teacher trainee to learn and
assimilate new teaching skills under
controlled conditions.
• To enable teacher trainee to gain
confidence in teaching and to master
a number of skills by dealing with a
small group of pupils.
• To give proper guidance to trainee as
how to teach well.
7. CHARACTERISTICS
• It is training technique for teacher
trainees.
• It offers safe practice ground.
• Practicing one skill at a time.
• Reducing the class size to 5-10 pupil.
• Reducing the duration of lesson to 5-
10 minutes.
• It gives instant feedback.
9. STEPS IN MICRO TEACHING
• Define Skill.
• Demonstration of the skill by teacher
educator by showing video film.
• Lesson planning by the teacher trainee.
• Teaching by the trainee.
• Feedback
• Re-planning the lesson by the trainee.
• Re-teaching by the trainee.
• Re-feedback
10. PHASES OF MICRO TEACHING
• Knowledge acquisition phase
Observing, analyzing and discussing
about the demonstration
• Skill acquisition phase
Prepare the micro lesson involving the
skill and practicing it.
• Transfer Phase
Evaluating the performance through
feedback, replan and reteach
11. • It help teachers improve teaching
performance.
• It develop teacher’s confidence.
• It proceeds from simple to complex.
• It gives ready feedback.
• It modifies teachers behaviour.
• It facilities attainments of teaching skills.
ADVANTAGES
12. LIMITATIONS
• It requires competent teacher trainees..
• It doesn’t guarantee success in teaching.
• It makes teaching process rigid.
