3. COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to enrich the students’ experiences in developing and utilizing
appropriate technology to facilitate learning through microteaching. It shall also provide
exposure and hands on opportunities in the use of instructional or communication technology in
tutorial, remedial, and enhancement teaching. Tutorial teaching focuses on the application of
appropriate tutoring skills like explaining, demonstrating, providing feedback and checking
understanding. Remedial teaching starts from the difficulties of the learners where
interpretation, explanation and demonstration of relevant points are done. Enhancement
teaching is a practical strategy of augmenting a lesson incorporated in microteaching.
Microteaching is the application of being a child-friendly teacher. This includes addressing
student-diversity through gender-sensitivity, inclusiveness, and non-discriminating traits by the
pre-service teacher.
Course Objectives
At the end of the course, the pre-service teacher is expected to:
1. Have applied the principles of teaching in tutorial, remedial and enhancement activities.
2. Have used appropriate technology by selecting and preparing the teaching materials that
best suit the needs of the learners.
3. Have developed and utilized instructional materials appropriate to a chosen lesson in
microteaching.
4. Have made reflections in their journal writings indicating realizations and insights related
to the microteaching experiences and their use of technology in it.

The Teacher and the Learner
Objectives:
1. Identify the qualities in the person of a teacher which have a bearing on his/her role as a
teacher.
2. Develop and use instructional technology appropriate to microteaching lessons.
3. Align with instructional objectives the teaching methods, learning activities and
instructional materials and resources appropriate to learners and aligned to objectives of
the lesson.
4. Develop skills in the art of questioning through observation of the classroom teacher.
5. Observe the learners in relation to multiple intelligences and learning styles.

Learning Content No.2: Learning Resources in School and the Use of technology
Technology in teaching is the development, application, and evaluation of systems, techniques
and aids to improve the learning process.
In the classroom, this refers to the utilization of learning resources such as overhead projectors,
audio-visual displays, recorders, computers, LCD and internet facilities to improve the
effectiveness & efficiency of teaching, and enhancement of learning.
In this activity, Technology refers to the observed learning resources/materials utilized by the
cooperating teacher and PST to enhance process.
Activity: Complete Observation Sheet 2 (Appendix B)
Field Study 3 8
Learning Content No. 3: Microteaching
Microteaching is a scaled-down teaching encounter in which the teacher focuses on a group of
3 to 7 learners. It aims to enhance the knowledge, skills or understanding of the identified
learners. FS 3 is done during regular class hours or outside the regular class hours through
tutorial, remedial, and enhancement teachings.
The Pre-service Teacher must know their subject matter and use appropriate tutoring skills such
as explaining, demonstrating, questioning, giving feedback and checking understanding. The
PST must develop and utilize instructional materials appropriate to the microteaching lesson.
Pre-service teachers need to identify where students have difficulties. From here, they will
interpret, explain and demonstrate the relevant points.
CTs should identify the focus of the enhancement activity for this purpose. The Pre-Service
Teachers should demonstrate a particular strategy in presenting the lesson. After the first
enhancement teaching, evaluation follows. The lesson shall be improved and adapted in the
second enhancement teaching. Selection of teaching materials should also be improved to suit
the needs of the learners.
