Microteaching !! Reflection

Based on self-reflection and the thoughtful feedback and comments we (me and my teammates) have recevied from our collesgues, there is definitely room for improvement in the lesson plan and its delivery. The participatory component of the lesson plan could have been better, as it would have been nice if we had incorporated a more intriguing and engaging “hook” into the lesson. It was a good opportunity to put into practice what we have been learning about student-centerd approach and problem based learning for teaching Mathematics.

However, it was suggested that we should have spent a few minutes solving and explaining the problem we posed via what we call the traditional teacher-centerd classrooom instead of asking the students to solve it. The “perfect” balance between the teacher-centered approach and the student-centered appraoch will become natural with practice and time. I look forward to implementing and improving my lesson plan and teaching procedures based on the feedback I’ve received!
