CONDUCTING MICROTEACHING SESSIONS -
1. You are required to deliver the Microteaching sessions (Theory and Lecture- Demonstration sessions) in the presence of your Tutor and peers.
- Please read the short notes on Overview of Microteaching Practicum provided below to help you understand and perform better.
- Please discuss the day(s) for the presentations with your Tutor.
- NOTE: it is COMPULSORY that you and ALL your peers be present throughout the sessions; a verified mark will be rewarded for the presence.
2. The time allocated for each session is 15 minutes including 5 minutes for question and answer session.
3. Please take note that microteaching presentations should be interactive!
4. You are advised to do rehearsal for your presentations to check for good timing, besides ensuring that you are well prepared. (Please refer to the Rubrics for in Appendix 2 & 4, respectively).
5. Present the compilation of your Lesson Plans, Lesson Notes and the hard-copy of your Power Point Slides to your Tutor prior to delivering microteaching.
HIGHLIGHTS: In your LESSON PLAN, you should:
- Indicate the title of your lesson.
- Provide the main subject being covered (lesson content).
- Identify the Learning Outcomes: what do you want your audience to know or be able to do at the end of your 10 minute session. You may even come up with more than one objective, but keep in mind-you only have 10 minutes, so be realistic.
- Select the styles of presentation / methodology / strategy.
- Identify your opening statement. (How are you going to get things started).
- Outline briefly the main sections of your lesson, showing your progression toward your learning objective.
- Indicate the amount of time you intend to spend teaching each section.
- Indicate the transitions between the above points. (Consider how you intend to switch from one topic or section to the next)
- List the questions that you are going to ask your peer group ('students')
- List the questions from your peers ('students') that you anticipate.
- Identify your closing statement - conclusion. (How are you going to wrap things up?)
GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF POWER POINT SLIDES AND PRESENTATION -
An oral presentation requires both an auditory and a visual component. Your presentation slides will complement what you will be saying. The following guidelines will help you prepare proper and good quality power point slides, and deliver your presentation smoothly.
1. Text
- Font size - make all text as large as possible; no less than 28. Exceptions, (however, try to use font no less than 20 if possible) for references or subtitles on graphs or pictures.
- Font style - Arial or Times New Roman, using same font style throughout.
- Colors - depends upon background choices. (Refer below).
- Number of words - a good rule of thumb is less than 40 words per slide. This would allow the average reader to take in the text in around 12 seconds and then concentrate their attention back to the speaker. A text-heavy slide is distracting and might take the attention of your audience away from what you are saying.
2. Backgrounds
- Use a simple, pleasing background. Examples: dark blue grading to light blue; yellow print.
- Simple repeated graphic on left side; white background and black print (as necessary).
- Avoid a background with many lines, many colors, or many shades of one color.
- DO NOT USE ANIMATED BACKGROUNDS; they are distracting to audience.
3. Practice
- You must practice (aloud) several times so that you will be confident and stay within the time limit.
- You may want to write your speech out (entirely) beforehand to make sure that you can make your points clearly and that you make smooth transitions.
- Practice as much as possible to achieve an easy delivery.
- Do not read your text or memorize it.
- Know as much about your subject area as possible.
4. Presentation
- Speak slowly. Do not assume that audience members will figure anything out by themselves.
- Make eye contact with the audience and interact with your slides.
- Point to parts you want the audience to consider using a laser pointer. Hold pointer steady; do not waive it around. DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS.
- Deliver your presentation with an outline based on your written text, so that you will not read (and bore the audience), but can find your place if you get lost.
- You may want to have your Introduction and Conclusion written in full (but summarized) so that you can get through it smoothly.
5. Question & Answer Session
- You should handle Question & Answer session attentively; answer clearly and concisely.
- Nevertheless, if you do not know the answer, say so.
