Description The microteaching module provides core training for the student-teacher/trainer which will apply in a range of education and training contexts. The module aims to: Equip students with the ability to develop students understanding of how learners learn; Introduce students to the concept of the teacher as a reflective practitioner; Introduce students to contemporary approaches to a range of teaching & training skills and how these can be adapted for use in a variety of education and training environments including further, adult and continuing education settings; Develop confidence in a range of initial teaching skills through reviews, analysis, demonstration, peer coaching and guided feedback. Learners will also examine how to select certain teaching methods through a process of active planning and how these would apply in different contexts. Students will design, implement and evaluate 4 learning episodes and teach for 5-10 minutes whilst being recorded on digital video in the microteaching suites. Through Moodle and a portfolio they will critically reflect on each skill, performance and impact. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
