Microteaching
It is scaled down teaching
a. It reduced the content (number of unit)
b. It reduced the duration(5-10 minutes)
c. It reduced the class size (5-10 students)
d. It reduced its objectives ( one skill at a time)
The four aspects of teaching are reduced. So it is known as microteaching
Procedure for practice of skill in microteaching
Step I
Discussion of teaching skills
Define the concept of teaching skills to the student.
The teacher educator discuss the skills with teacher trainees.
Teacher educator give knowledge about the teaching skills to the teacher trainees with examples
Step II
Demonstration of the teaching skill
or
Presentation of the model lesson
After discussion, demonstration lesson of the teacher educator based on particular skill.
Give importance to component of that skill and show the videotape about the teaching.
Step III
Actual practice of teaching skill
Sub step I
Planning the micro lesson
After discussion and demonstration the teacher trainee prepared a micro lesson about a particular teaching skills.
Duration is 5-10 minutes & concentrate in one skill.
One single unit take & session is known as plan session.
Substep II
Teaching the microlesson

Take a small unit of lesson & take a class of 5-10 minutes, one skill by the teacher trainees.
It was supervised by the fellow trainee and teacher educators through observation
Supervisor use a performa and note down the observation in the performa.
The behaviour component is present in the performa.



No Components of stimulus variation ½ minutes interval Total
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 Teacher movement / / 2
2 Teacher gesture / 1
3 Change in sensory focus / / 2
4 Change in speech pattern / 1
5 Pupil talk / 1
6 Pupil movement / 1


If these are present the teacher educator can tick it in every half minutes.
It can be recording through audio or video recording for feedbacking.
Actual time is 6minutes
Substep III
Feedback or Critique session
Discussion of lesson by the teacher educator with the help of the fellow trainee and teacher trainee
They criticize the performance of the teacher trainee.
Give suggestions for improvement
With the help of videotape, feedback can be given.
Feedback session is about 6minutes.
Substep IV
Replanning session
On the basis of comment in criticizes, he modifies the teaching behaviour.
On the basis of suggestions, the defects are rectified, he replanned a lesson plan
The time allotted is 12 minutes
Concentrate the same skill in the planning session
We can change the skill but can vary the topic.
Substep V
Reteaching session
Reteach the revised or modified lesson, same skill
If topic is different we can repeat same class
If topic is same another group of students are taken.
Time allotted is 6 minutes
The fellow trainee and teacher educator observe the class with the help of a performa
Whatever the teacher is acquired that skill is assessed by the teacher educator
Substep VI
Refeedback session
Assessing the class by the teacher educator and fellow trainee

The cycle will be repeated until the teacher trainee acquired that skill.

Duration of microteaching cycle
Planning - No fixed time
Teach - 6minutes
Feedback - 6minutes
Replan - 12 minutes
Reteach -6minutes
Refeedback -6 minutes
-36 minutes
Step IV
Link practice
Practice for linking the skills.
Teacher concentrate or connect 2or 3skills
Little more than that of microteaching session
Link practice Microteaching
2or 3 skills Only one skill
Little bigger unit Small unit
20 students 5-10 students
Only real situation Real or artificial situation

Duration of link practice & microteaching
Teach - 20 minutes 6 minutes
Feedback - 10 minutes 6 minutes
Re plan - 25 minutes 12 minutes
Re teach - 20 minutes 6 minutes
Re feedback - 10 minutes 6 minutes
Total –85 minutes 36 minutes

Step V
Full class teaching
Linking all skills practiced from microteaching and link practice. Concentrate all skills, real classroom situation, no. of students 40-45, duration 45 minutes, bigger unit.
Step VI
Evaluation
Evaluating the performance of teacher trainee in the full class teaching whether he is able to transfer skills from microteaching and link practice.
Advantages of microteaching
a. Microteaching employs real teaching for the purpose of developing skills.
b. It is more effective in modifying teacher behaviour
c. It is an effective technique for transfer of teaching competencies to classroom
Limitations of microteaching

a. For successful implementation, microteaching requires competent and suitably trained teacher educators.
b. It is very time consuming.
c. It is skill oriented, content is not emphasized
d. Microteaching alone may not be adequate. It needs to be supplemented and integrated with other teaching techniques.
