Notes 11.8 Indian Model of Micro Teaching

In India, the Indian model of Micro Teaching has been developed as a result of efforts of NCRET, CASE
and Indore University. It has the following characteristics:
(1) Discussion method is used in place of costly thing (such as video, closed circuit TV etc.)
(2) Costly inspection and feedback tools used in foreign are replaced by trained inspectors.
(3) The micro-teaching sessions are conducted in simulated conditions in which fellow B.Ed trainee has
the main role.
(4) Micro-level assessment of teaching and learning in the Indian circle pattern is as follows—

Number of students 5 to 10
Type of students Students of school or B.Ed. students
Inspection and feedback Principal or fellow of B.Ed. student
Teaching time 6 minutes
No. of skills One on one
Content Single teaching step
Total time 36 minutes
(5) Total time of Micro teaching cycle of Indian Model is 36 minutes. Its time division is as follows:

Teaching 6 minutes
Feedback 6 minutes
Re-plan 12 minutes
Re-teach 6 minutes
Re-feedback 6 minutes
Total time 36 minutes
(6) This model is cheap and more fl exible.

(7) Indian paradigm has sufficient space to coordinate skills.
