The document provides a lesson plan on microteaching and self-directed learning (SDL). It begins with introducing microteaching as a teaching procedure that simplifies the teaching process by focusing on one skill at a time. It then defines microteaching and lists its objectives. The principles and 5 R's of microteaching are described. The phases and cycle of microteaching are explained. Merits and demerits of microteaching are enumerated. Traditional teaching is then compared to microteaching. Next, SDL is introduced and defined. The components, learning resources, and phases of SDL are outlined. Assignments related to microteaching skills and SDL are provided at the end.

Introduction
It is a training procedure aimed at simplifying the
complexities of a regular teaching process. The complex
act of teaching is broken down on to simple components
.Only one particular skill is attempted and developed
during microteaching session.
The teaching act is scaled down in terms of the content
of the lesson, duration of the lesson and the strength of
the class.
Definition
According to Allen (1966)
Microteaching defined as a scale down teaching
encounter in class size, and class time .The number of
students is from 5-10 and the duration of period ranges
from 5-20 minutes.
Objectives
1. To enable teacher trainee to learn and assimilate
new teaching skills under controlled conditions.
2. To enable the teacher trainee to gain confidence
in teaching
3. To master a number of teaching skills on a small
group of students
4. To utilize academic potentials of teacher trainee
for providing much needed feedback.

Principles of micro teaching
1. Enforcement
Feedback, re-teaching makes teaching perfect.
2. Practice and Drill
Teaching is a complex skill which needs constant drill
and practice. This will help the teacher trainee to attain
mastery.
3. Continuity
Microteaching is a continuous process. Teaching-
feedback-re teaching –feedback till perfection is attained
4. Microscopic supervision
Supervisor has an observation schedule which he fills up
while supervising and makes assessment at a rating
scale.

Phases of microteaching
According to JC Clift microteaching has three phases.
They are as follows
1. Knowledge acquisition phase
2. Skill acquisition phase
3. Transfer phase
1. Knowledge acquisition phase
In this phase student teacher attempt to acquire
knowledge about the skill, its rationale, its role in class
room and its component behavior. For this he read
relevant literature. He also observes demonstration
lesson. In this phase student teacher gets theoretical as
well as practical knowledge of skill.

2. Skill acquisition phase
In this phase student teacher prepare the micro lesson
and practices the skill and carries out the micro teaching
cycle.
3. Transfer phase
Here the student teacher integrates different skill. In
place of scale down situation, he teaches in the real class
room and tries to integrate all the skills.
Merits of microteaching
1. Microteaching help student teachers to acquire
teaching skills by providing a real situation for
practicing skills
2. Since microteaching focuses on a particular skill
at a time ,student teachers can attain proficiency
in teaching skills in a phased manner
3. Provision of immediate feedback makes
microteaching more interesting and reliable
4. As gadgets like video camera and tape recorders
are used extensively in microteaching, it
exemplifies the effective use of technology in the
field of education.
Demerits of microteaching
1. Microteaching is time consuming
2. Real life situations are quite different
3. Scope is narrow
4. Limited to lecturing

Introduction
Self-directed learning (SDL) is also called as Self
Instructional Module. It is a type of adult learning method.
Here the learner learns himself or herself without the help of a
teacher. It is a kind of self-learning where there is focus on
self-development and self-education.
Definition
It is a process in which students take initiative to diagnose
their learning needs, formulate learning goals and identify and
utilize learning resources for learning.
It is adult learning concept with behavioral objectives with or
without pretest, learning activities, self-evaluation tools, and
posttest.

Learning resources
a. Text books
b. Information sheet
c. Written lectures
d. Pamphlets
e. Audio visual materials
f. Internet and e learning materials etc
Phases of SDL
Development of SDL takes place in three phases
1. Preparatory phase
2. Implementation phase
3. Evaluation phase
1.Preparatory phase
In this phase, there is collection, analysis and interpretation of
data. In this phase data is collected, target group is identified
and resource material is arranged for the development of self-
instructional module.
3. Implementation phase
Implementation phase includes the process of program
definition, preparation, production, dissemination and
utilization of the self- learning module. The cost involved in
the production of self-learning module varies depending up on
the availability of resources and the quality of the material
used.
4. Evaluation Phase
It is done to check the effectiveness of the module. It is done
to find out how much improvement has been there in terms of
competencies of learner.
Evaluation can be of input, process, and output. The input

process is the way the material was developed and output is
the type result or material generated.
Conclusion
Self-directed learning is matured learning strategy. It is an
economical method in which learner can study the material at
home without disturbing his work. It provides flexible
environment to the learner. It is one of most acceptable adult
learning method.
