this presentation delas with the procedure of micro teaching in the eductaion field.

1. MICROTEACHING PRESENTED BY: Ms. Sameeksha Bhardwaj Assistant Professor Dept. Of Community Health Nursing

2. INTRODUCTION It is a training procedure aimed at simplifying the complexes of regular teaching process. the trainee is engaged in a scaled down teaching situation in terms of class size 4-6, length of class time 5-10 min, teaching task and strategy, flexibility etc.

3. DEFINITION DAVIS B YOUNG M icroteaching is a device which provides novice and experienced teacher alike new opportunities to improve teaching. it is a real teaching scaled down in terms of class size 1-5 students and time 5-20 minutes.

4. BUCH MBI 1968 Microteaching is teacher education technique which allows teacher to apply clearly defined teaching skills to carefully prepared lessons in planned series of 5-10 min encountered with a small group of real students 5-10 often with an opportunity to observe the results in video tape.

5. NEED FOR MICRO TEACHING to ensure the desired skills are actually acquired by the teacher trainee.

6. OBJECTIVES OF MICROTEACHING to enable the teacher trainee to learn and assimilate new teaching skills under controlled situations to enable trainee to gain confidence. to utilize the academic potential of trainee to gain maximum advantage with little time, money and material.

7. CHARACTERSTICS OF MICROTEACHING 1. Microelement - reduces the complexicities of teaching situation. 2. Teaching skills and teaching strategies a) pre instructional skills i ) writing of instructional objectives, appropriate content, proper organization, selection of proper AV aid etc. b) instructional aids skills of introduction, explaining and illustrating reinforcement, probing questions, diagnosing pupils difficulties etc .

8. c ) post instructional skills skills of writing test items, interpreting pupils performance by test, planning remedial measures etc. d) feedback

9. 3. Safe practice ground - teaching is performed under simulated conditions with a small group, the trainee is on safe practice ground . 4. The teaching model - the trainee gets many opportunities to study the desired pattern of behavior through demonstration given by the supervisor.

10. 5. The research laboratory- following areas seems to make the effective use of microteaching settings: a) to optimize the procedure and sequences in microteaching situation. b)research in modeling and supervising technique c) task analysis and teaching act

11. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MICROTEACHING ENFORCEMENT - feedback re teaching makes teaching perfect . PRACTICE AND DRIL L - needs constant drill and practice. affords practice in each small task and skill . MICROSCOPIC SUPERVISION the supervisor sees through the lesson all important points, paying full attention to one point at a time . EVALUATION

13. GENERAL TEACHING SKILLS INVOLVED IN MICROTEACHING BY STANFORD MODEL Stimulus variation Closure Silence Non verbal clues R einforcement of student participation Fluency in questioning

14. Probing question Divergent questions Illustrating the use of examples Lecturing skills Completeness of communication

15. PROCEDURE ADOPTED FOR MICTOTEACHING Lecture Demonstration Diagnostic lessons Micro lessons for practice

16. APPARATUS NEEDED CCTV videotape recorders 2 monitors recording tapes 2 clocks 100 yards of wire switch gear

17. STEPS IN MICRO TEACHING Defining the skill Demonstrating the lesson Planning the lesson Teaching the micro lesson Discussion on the lesson delivered Re planning the lesson Re teaching the lesson Re discussion of re feedback Repeating the cycle

18. PHASES OF MICROTEACHING 1. Knowledge acquisition phase observation of analysis discussion of demonstrated skill 2. Skill acquisition phase preparation of microteaching involves the skill practicing the skill while teaching 3. Training phase evaluating performance leading to feedback re plan re teach and transfer of skill to actual class session in micro teaching

19. ADVANTAGES OF MICRO TEACHING A n effective feedback device for the modification of teachers behavior. Knowledge of practice of teaching skill can be given by the use of microteaching. The specific teaching skills can be developed. The training of teacher becomes individualized.

20. Permits increased control and regulation on teaching practice. I t lessens the complexicities of normal classroom teaching Focuses attention on teaching behavior to modify and improve the desired direction. An economical device and the use of videotape enables the trainee to analyze his own teaching performance. It greatly expands the normal knowledge of the result of feedback.

21. DISADVANTAGES OF MICRO TEACHING Putting total skills is difficult in microteaching, 5-10 min are not sufficient to give full lesson. It is not feasible actual practice 50-60 students in class not 4-10. It is costly, needs video recorder, CCTV and videotape. Real life situations are quite different. Need for many simulators as instruction is individualized. Requires more skills. Scope is narrow.

22. CONCLUSION : Microteaching is becoming a very important part in teaching area not only for the students but for the teachers also. It enhances the growth of the learner as well as teacher. It focuses on the student’s abilities with various aspects of teaching.
