18.9 Summary

• Simulation teaching may be used as an effective feedback. It is very easy and effective skills.
• It has some limitations also, it cannot be used for the curricula of all the subjects. It is a form
of a play which lacks the seriousness of teachers.
• Some precautions should be used for simulated teaching. Every pupil teacher should be
given an opportunity of playing the roles of teacher and the observer and presence of the
teacher and the obser4ver is essential during this technique.
• By using this technique a relationship between the theory and practice is established and it
provides an opportunity to the student teachers to study any analyze critical teaching
problems.

becomes superfluous where each student teacher comes to play a game and go the procedure
of simulated teaching is also described in the unit. The main steps are (i) Assignment of
