3. INTRODUCTION Microteaching is one of the most important developments in the field of teaching practice.it is originated in Standford university in 1963. Microteaching is a clinical teaching programme which is organised to explore the trainee to an organised curriculum of miniature teaching encounters, moving from the less complex to the more complex.  

4. MICROTEACHING Definition Acc . To Bush, Microteaching is a teacher education technique which allows teachers to apply clearly defined teaching skills to carefully prepared lessons in a planned series of five to ten minutes encounter with a small group of real students , often with an opportunity to observe the result on video tape .

5. CONT… Acc. To Allen , A scaled 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 min.

6. CHARACTERSTICS OF MICROTEACHING 1.MICRO-ELEMENTS –Microteaching reduces the complexity of the teaching situation in terms of ; number of students to be taught duration of lesson subject matter to be taught it reduces the teaching skills and size of the topic .it is focused on micro-events.

7. CONT…… 2.TEACHING SKILLS AND TEACHING PROCESS – a. PRE-INSTRUCTIONAL SKILLS These includes writing of instructional objectives . Sequencing and organizing knowledge to be presented in order to achieve specific objectives. Appropriate content. Proper organisation . Selection of proper audio-visual aids.  

8. CONT…. b. INSTRUCTIONAL SKILLS Skills of introducing a lesson. Skills of explaining and illustrating Reinforcement. Probing question. Reinforcing pupil participation . Diagnosing learners difficulties.  

9. CONT…….. C. POST-INSTRUCTIONAL SKILLS Skills of writing test items . Interpreting pupils performance in a test . d. FEEDBACK Oral feedback by the supervisor observation schedules filled in by the peer group participation in the micro lesson ,audio and videotape recording.

10. CONT….. 3. SAFE PRACTICE GROUND Teaching is performed under simulated conditions with a small group , the trainee is on a safe practice ground.  

11. PRINCIPLES OF MICROTEACHIG 1.ENFORCEMENT 2. PRACTICE AND DRILL 3. CONTINUITY-microteaching is a continuous process, teaching-feedback –re-teaching –feedback 4. MICROSCOPIC SUPERVISION

12. ADVANTAGES OF MICROTEACHING To perfect their performance and improve it to a superior level. Teaching skills are learnt in a real practice situation . F ocuses on sharpening and developing of specific teaching skills and eliminating errors.

13. CONT… Microteaching is very effective in modifying teaching behaviour . It provides a safe practice ground for the student teachers. Microteaching provides increased control of the practice teaching lesson.

14. CONT…. P rovides for repeated practice . I ncreases the self-confidence of the student teacher . P rovides accurate and powerful feedback on the performance of the student teachers by oral feedback by the supervisor observation schedules filled in by the peer group , audio and videotape recording.

15. DISADVANTAGES OF MICROTEACHING Microteaching is skill oriented rather than content-oriented . Microteaching has a very narrow scope. H ighly time consuming . Requires more skills.

16. cont ,…. Real life situations are quite different. Conduct under controlled environment. It does not apply to skills like decision-making ,preparation of audio visual resources, maintaining student records etc.

17. STEPS OF MICROTEACHING 1.DEFINING THE SKILL 2. DEMONSTRATING THE LESSON 3. PLANNING THE LESSON 4. TEACHING THE MICRO LESSON

18. CONT… 5.DISCUSSION ON THE LESSON DELIVERED 6. REPLANNING THE LESSON 7.RE-TEACHING THE LESSON 8. REDISCUSSION OR RE-FEEDBACK 9.RE-PEATING THE CYCLE

19. CONT…. MICROTEACHING CYCLE

20. CONT…. MICROTEACHING FLOW C HART

21. PHASES OF MICROTEACHING 3 phases of microteaching 1. KNOWLEDGE ACQUISTION PHASE- -observation of analysis. -discussion of the demonstrated skill. 2. SKILL ACQUISTION PHASE- -preparation of the micro –lesson involving the skill. -practicing the skill while teaching.

22. CONT… TRANSFER PHASE – - evaluating performance leading to feedback. - replan , reteach and transfer of skill to actual class teaching in macro sessions.

23. ROLE OF SUPERVISOR • Supervisor will help the teacher trainee to develop component skills of teaching to both the theory underlying skills and the practical conditions of the classroom. • Provides continuous consultation and helps the teacher trainee skills learnt in microteaching setting to the actual classroom.

24. CONT… • Demonstrates the teaching skill which has to be developed in the teacher trainee. • Prepares a special schedule of micro-teaching lessons in the practicing schools. • Evaluates the trainees class and fills the rating questionnaries schedule and gives feedback . • Supervisor should act as a role model for teacher trainee.
