The document discusses the educational technique of role play and microteaching. It provides details on how role play can be used in teaching to help students develop understanding of different perspectives. It also outlines the key elements and benefits of microteaching, which involves practicing teaching skills on a small group to help enhance teaching abilities. The document concludes by summarizing a research article that found microteaching training significantly improved undergraduate student seminar skills compared to a control group, though some students felt it required more preparation and motivation.

3. Every teacher devises his or her good
effective method for teaching. The teacher in

 ABSTRACT
 OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the study were
to assess the effectiveness and perceptions
regarding microteaching methodology in
improving the undergraduate student seminars.

23.  MATERIALS AND METHODS:
 The study was conducted among ten randomly
selected 1st year MBBS students. They were
assigned a seminar topic from pre-discussed
lecture in Physiology. They were divided into
two equal groups and one group underwent
training in microteaching through a workshop.
Each student from both the groups presented
seminar which was evaluated on Likert’s scale
by standardised blinded observers consisting of
13 faculty and 12 students. Perceptions of
students were assessed by self-evaluation. The
data were analysed by Chi-square and Mann–
Whitney U-test.

24.  RESULTS:
 Each student was evaluated by 25 members and got
125 responses from each group. The median score
for all the components in the assessment was
significantly higher in the intervention group as
compared to the control group. The presentation
skills, providing non-verbal clues and stating the
objectives were significantly better among the
microteaching trained group (P ≤ 0.05). Common
perception among the intervention group was that
they found it interesting, innovative, improved
presentation skills, interactive and needed
preparation for application and analysis, whereas
some students felt lack of time and motivation were
the obstacles for implementation of microteaching
methodology for student seminars.
