MICRO-TEACHING Vs SIMULATED TEACHING

Teacher Education

Teaching is very common action verve and every lay person has his own idea regarding teaching. There are many definitions and explanation of teaching as a process, proposed by various educationists. Teacher behavior relates to action, interaction and communication of teacher with the students. It is vitally important in teaching learning process. It has wide application in educational field as well. Many tools are used in psychology for behavior modification such as simulation, micro teaching, demonstration, practice teaching, interaction analysis, etc. Micro-teaching a tool helps the purpose of developing such skills. Simulation on the other hand is another important tool for modifying one’s behavior. In this technique an artificial environment of real classroom is created where the trainee teachers are trained about all the skills at a time. Like micro-teaching there also exist immediate feedback effects which help a learner to modify his or her behavior. Simulation is relatively a recent technique, which can make transition from the course of work to the field experience and more continuous, and this bridges the gap between the theories of practice.
