Journal Title: Journal of Pakistan Orthopaedic Association - Year 2020, Vol 32, Issue 03

Abstract

Training of post graduates is a fast changing field all over the world. Microteaching has been a time tested technique since long but its use has decreased over time especially in medical field. It is a group activity for teachers to learn how to teach. They plan and teach one by one a small lesson. It is watched by his group members and critiqued later. A special emphasis is upon evaluation whether teaching session has met its planned objectives or not. Use of teaching aids and other techniques are evaluated and discussed as a group. A recent interest in the technique has found many applications in learning how to teach. Post graduate trainees have been seen to benefit a lot from such learning activities. There is enough evidence pointing to the need for revisiting the concept and finding newer possibilities for its use. This article is a brief description of concept, techniques, advantages and uses of microteaching.
