Simulated Teaching for Effective Classroom Training
SIMULATED TEACHING
PREPARED BY - SUMANA METYA
MEANING OF SIMULATED TEACHING
It is a training technique used to change the behaviour of the pupils.
It is used before the practice of class teaching.
It is a role-playing technique.
Desirable behaviour can be achieved through the role-playing in
the artificial situations.
The teaching skills acquired by this method in the artificial situations
may be used while teaching in the real classroom situations.
CHARACTERISTICS
It may be used as a
rehearsal
before starting real
classroom teaching.
It facilitates an
effective feedback
.
It is considered
very easy
.
It is
effective in practising the teaching skills
for the pupil-
teachers.
It may be
used in the research work.
PROCEDURE
The pupil-teachers play the role of both pupils and teachers. One
pupil acts as a teacher and others play the role of pupils in the
class.
Small topics are taught whose teaching duration ranges from 10 to
15 minutes.
A discussion on teaching method and teaching tactics takes place
after this teaching span. Now the pupil teacher who plays the role of
the teacher goes amongst the pupil – teachers and plays the role of
a pupil. Some other pupil teacher now acts as a teacher.
After a teching task of 10-15 minutes, the discussion functions as a
feedback to the pupil-teachers.
STEPS
Assignment of roles
Selection and discussion of social skill for practice
Preparation of work schedule
Determination of observation technique
Organisation of first practice session
Altering the procedure
ADVANTAGES
A relationship between the theory and practice is established.
Provides an opportunity to the student teachers to study and analyse critical
teaching problems.
Helps in gaining the advantages of classroom manners.
Helps in understanding the behavioural problems of classroom and in
advancing solutions to those problems.
Provides feedback to the student teachers and provides insight to take a
decision about their own teaching activities.
Provides an opportunity to rapportise different types of questions.
Confidence in teaching is developed to encounter the face to face
situation in pupil – teacher.
Cont.
Helps in getting mastery over different social skills and teaching skills
relevant to classroom situation.
Provides an occasion for trainees to play the role of a teacher, student and
supervisor.
The best replacement of demonstration lesson.
LIMITATIONS
It can not be used for the curricula of all the subjects.
It involves very costly audio-visual aids.
In the role of an observer, the pupil-teacher may commit mistakes in the
recording.
The concentration of pupils’ mind is necessary in the learning process. It
lacks the seriousness of the teachers.
The pupil-teachers need much preparation. There are few teachers who opt
for extra work-load.
Sometimes the practice of teaching skills such as the skill of asking
questions becomes difficult for many pupil – teachers.
It can not be used in the case of young children.
PRECAUTIONS
Participation of the pupil-teachers of the same subject in the practice
session.
Preparation of micro lesson-plan by the pupil-teachers before starting the
practice.
Giving every pupil-teacher an opportunity of playing the roles of the
teacher and the observer.
Presence of the teacher and the observer is necessary.
Discussion after the teaching is over

THANK YOU
Simulated teaching is a powerful training technique that uses role-playing to change student behavior. It helps student teachers practice teaching skills in artificial scenarios before real classroom situations. This method allows for effective feedback, easy implementation, and the opportunity to rehearse teaching tactics. Through simulated teaching, student teachers can gain confidence, analyze teaching problems, understand classroom dynamics, and develop critical skills for successful teaching. This comprehensive guide covers the meaning, characteristics, procedure, steps, advantages, and relevance of simulated teaching in educational training.
