The Teacher and the Learner
Teachers are an important part of the learners educational
environment. Without them, the other elements of the educational
environment would be ineffective, for they guide, direct, and stimulate the
learners in their goal seeking (Bent, et.al., as cited by Aquino, 1988.)
The learner is the subject of the schooling process. Every learner is a unique
personality. The teacher, therefore, takes into account his/her varied
intelligences, interest, emotional stability and task-readiness along with
his/her levels of aptitude and degree of maturity.

B. Microteaching
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. 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 teacher 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.
