Introduction
Medical teachers unlike most other
teaching professionals are unique in that
no special prior or in service training in
pedagogic techniques is considered
necessary for their recruitment as
teachers or for their continued efficient
performance in that capacity.
Under these circumstances their ability to
teach is largely dependant on one of two
modalities of self training
viz.
1. Introduction Skill
4. Skill of Stimulus
2. Skill of Probing Variation
Questions
5. Skill of Black-
board Writing
3. Skill of Explanation
6. Skill of Achieving

i) Lesson planning
having clear cut objectives, and an
appropriate planned sequence
ii) Set induction
- the process of gaining pupil attention at
the beginning of the class
iii) Presentation
- explaining, narrating, giving appropriate
illustrations and examples, planned
repetition where necessary
iv) Stimulus variation
- avoidance of boredom amongst students
by gestures, movements, focusing,
silence, changing sensory channels etc.
v) Proper use of audio - visual
aids
vi) Reinforcement-
Recognising pupil difficulties, listening,
encouraging pupil participation and
response.
vii) Questioning
- fluency in asking questions, passing
questions and adapting questions
viii) Silence and nonverbal
cues (body language)
ix) Closure - method
of concluding a teaching session so as to
bring out the relevance of what has been
learnt, its connection with past learning
and its application to future learning
Skills of Micro teaching Techniques

Steps of Micro-teaching
Step I Particular skill to be practiced is
explained to the teacher trainees in terms of
the purpose and components of the skill with
suitable examples.
Step II The teacher trainer gives the
demonstration of the skill in Micro-teaching in
simulated conditions to the teacher trainees.
Step III The teacher trainee plans a short
lesson plan on the basis of the demonstrated
skill for his/her practice.
Step IV The teacher trainee teaches the
lesson to a small group of pupils. His
lesson is supervised by the supervisor and
peers.
Step V On the basis of the observation
of a lesson, the supervisor gives feedback
to the teacher trainee. The supervisor
reinforces the instances of effective use of
the skill and draws attention of the teacher
trainee to the points where he could not
do well.
Step VI In the light of the feed-back given by
the supervisor, the teacher trainee replans the
lesson plan in order to use the skill in more
effective manner in the second trial.
Step VII The revised lesson is taught to
another comparable group of pupils.
Step VIII The supervisor observes the re-teach
lesson and gives re-feed back to the teacher
trainee with convincing arguments and reasons.
Step IX The teach re-teach cycle may be
repeated several times till adequate mastery
level is achieved.

Plan
This involves the selection of the topic and
related content of such a nature in which
the use of components of the skill under
practice may be made easily and
conveniently.
The topic is analyzed into different
activities of the teacher and the pupils.
The activities are planned in such a logical
sequence where maximum application of
the components of a skill is possible.
Teach
This involves the attempts of the teacher trainee
to use the components of the skill in suitable
situations coming up in the process of teaching-
learning as per his/her planning of activities.
If the situation is different and not as
visualized(in the planning of the activities, the
teacher should modify his/her behaviour s per
the demand of the situation in the Class. He
should have the courage and confidence to
handle the situation arising in the class
effectively.
