I WILL ALWAYS BE A
STUDENT OF TEACHING

By “Dr G L Gulhane ,Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University”

Defective Teaching Learning Process
• More teacher’s talk:
students get less opportunity to express themselves

3. Only memory level: During classroom
interaction, teacher tends to promote mostly learning requiring
memory level thinking.
 More information & less explanation: Most of the
teachers spend more time in giving information and less on clarifying ideas
and still less time for giving explanations.
Less chance of encouragement: A very low percentage
of teacher’s time in the classroom is used for making encouraging remarks.
 No planning: Most of the teachers are not systematic in planning and
carrying out instruction


Defective Teaching Learning Process


““Tell me and I will forget; show me and I may remember;
involve me and I will understand”

The ability of teacher to teach is
largely dependent on two
modalities of self training :

3.Observation of other teachers
4.By a process of trail & error
while actually teaching in class
room situation

A Learner-Centered Experience
• Microteaching is a way for
you to hone your skills in a
supportive peer-learning
environment.

• You will see that your peers
share with you many of the
same struggles, the same
weaknesses, the same
strengths.

• You will recall techniques or
learn new ones by
observing your peers.

REPLAN

Explanation of MT cycle step –by -step
Step- I : Micro Lesson Plan ( may take 2 hours / a
day)
Step-II : Teach 5 Min.
Step-III : Feedback Session 5 Min.
Step-IV : Re-plan 10 Min.
Step-V : Re-teach Another group 5 Min.
Step-VI : Re-feedback 5 Min.
---------------
Total 30 Min. (Appr.)


1) The duration of teaching as well as number of students
are less.
2) The content is divided into smaller units which makes
the teaching easier.
3) Only one teaching skill is considered at a time.
4) There is a provision of immediate feedback.
5) In micro teaching cycle, there is facility of re-
planning, re-teaching and re-evaluation.
6) It puts the teacher under the microscope
7) All the faults of the teacher are observed.
8) The problem of discipline can also be controlled.


FEEDBACK

VIDEO OBSERVERS


Feedback is the information supplied to the
individual.
The success of micro teaching depends on
feedback. Which can also be used within the
process of teaching as well as after the lesson
taught.
It is used in various forms in case of micro
teaching by the supervisor, video-tape, films, T.V.,
which are various sources of feedback.


VIDEO RECORDING

o S t im u lu s v a r ia t io n :
Stimulus variation is described as deliberate change in
the behaviors of the teacher in order to sustain the attention of his
learners throughout the lesson. Stimulus variation determines
teacher liveliness in the classroom.
The components of this skill are:
Body movement ,Gestures, Change in voice, eye contact
pausing
o A c h ie v in g C lo s u r e :
When a student- teacher delivers lecture and sums up
properly and in an attractive way, the skill is termed as “Closure Skill”.
The lesson/period remains ineffective in the absence of proper closure.
