What is micro teaching and what is a micro teaching lesson plan?
Micro teaching is a teaching technique and a learning strategy that
involves breaking down lessons into smaller, more manageable parts.
These smaller parts are then called micro lessons, where educators can
focus on specific teaching skills and strategies.

A micro teaching lesson plan is a miniature version of a regular


lesson plan. It typically includes all of the same elements of a
regular lesson plan but on a smaller scale. This can be beneficial
for new teachers because it allows them to practice planning and
teaching a complete lesson without the pressure of a full
classroom. On the other hand, learners can get highly targeted
and focused lessons without being overwhelmed.
Importance of a micro teaching lesson plan

A micro teaching lesson plan plays an important role in the


success of a micro teaching strategy. It serves as a roadmap
to make sure that lessons are well-structured, objectives are
clear, and strategies are aligned with the desired outcomes.
A well-designed lesson plan also gives a framework for
trainers and educators to practice and improve their
teaching skills, making the most of the micro teaching
experience.
What to include in a micro teaching lesson plan

While micro teaching can be short, it doesn’t mean that


attention span and knowledge retention wouldn’t be a
problem. The good thing is there’s no shortage of ways to
make learning appealing. Here are some ideas to include in
your lesson plan:
•Use gamification – Add game elements like drag and drop
and fill in the blanks that your learners can complete in just a
few minutes.
•Make it mobile-ready – Opt for microlearning courses and
activities that you can deliver automatically to your learners’
mobile devices. This helps make training more accessible and
familiar.
What to include in a micro teaching lesson plan
•Foster collaboration – Use discussion boards and forums to
facilitate collaboration among learners and help them
actively engage with the topic.
•Conduct knowledge assessments – Before a lesson, test
your learners’ knowledge on a topic with a quick test. This
way, you can gauge everyone’s skill level and adapt your
lesson accordingly.
•Use spaced repetition – Reintroduce topics at increasing
intervals until learners have retained the knowledge in their
long-term memory.
Steps in making a micro teaching lesson plan
1. Introduce learners to the topic with a title slide
It’s important to start by telling your learners what the
lesson is about. This puts them in the right frame of mind by
getting them thinking about learning and making them more
receptive to new information.
By giving them an overview of the topic, you’re also making
them think about the context (for more on why this is
important and what they know about the subject already).
The more they can relate to the subject matter, the more
effective the lesson will be, all while providing a greater
opportunity for the new information to embed into your
learners’ long-term memory with ease.

2. Use different elements to present content
Consider splitting the information into multiple lessons.
Using four slides is an optimal number for directed-focus
lessons. Use different elements such as videos, images, and
graphics to break down walls of text.

3. Reinforce content using interactive activities
Next, it’s recommended to introduce interactive activities like
quizzes and games to help reinforce your content. If your
learners get the answer right, you can reinforce why the
right answer was important. However, if they get it wrong,
it’s equally important to correct any misconception and
explain what the right answer is: any delay will increase the
likelihood of retaining the wrong information.

4. Applying gamification to a micro lesson plan
Playing games makes for effective learning, but making your
lessons competitive (and even rewarding) will drive
effectiveness even further. There are various microteaching
methods for doing this (which ultimately depends on which
Learning Management System you use) but scoring answers,
setting time limits, and awarding points for completing tasks
within the lesson all increase learners’ engagement.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING
WITH THE COMPUTER
DEFINING COOPERATIVE LEARNING:
Cooperative or Collaborative Learning is learning by
small groups of students who work together in a
common learning task.

It is often also called group learning but to be truly


cooperative learning,

Five Elements are needed: (1) A Common Goal (2)


Interdependence (3) Interaction (4) Individual
Accountability (5) Social Skills

Cooperative
Learning:
Advantages of Cooperative Learning:
Encourages active learning, while
motivating students

Increases academic performance

Promotes literacy and language skills

Improves teacher effectiveness


Cooperative learning
✓Enhances personal and
social development
among students of all
ages, while enhancing
self-esteem and
improving social relations
between racially and
culturally different
students.
Researchers have made studies on the learning interaction between the
students and the computer.

The studies have a great value since it has been a long standing fear that the
Cooperative computer may foster student learning in isolation that hinders the
development of the student’s social skills.
Learning
When students work with computers in groups, they cluster and interact with
and the each other for advice and mutual help. And given the option to work
individually or in a group, the students generally wish to work together in
Computer computer-based and non-computer-based activities.
Reflecting on the phenomenon, psychologist think the computer fosters their
positive social behavior that it has a display monitor-just like a television
set.

Group Activity
1. Discuss the difference between peer competition and positive
interdependence in a group.
2. Which can be done in case some members of a group do not show positive
interpersonal and communication skills? Can the teacher help in this situation?
3. Are skills in listening, negotiating, compromising, punctuality, tolerance
(giving others a chance to speak) part of the social skills needed in group
work?
4. How can group members ensure that each member of the group is also
accountable for the group work, and not totally dependent on others? How can
the teacher grade individual students fairly in a group activity for one single
output?
5. While cooperative learning is a very good avenue for teachers to help
students learn effectively, why is it not to be adopted in all classroom learning
situations?
