Journal Title: National Journal of Research in Community Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Context: Medical teachers most often do not receive a special training in pedagogic techniques. It is not considered necessary for their recruitment. The class cannot be used as a learning platform for acquiring basic teaching skills. The pedagogic skill for teaching can be acquired only through more structured and inexpensive faculty training techniques. Objectives: to estimate quantitative evidence on teaching skills through expert observation and to demonstrate the process used to identify individual areas of teaching skills that are effective or need improvement using the component skills approach. Methods: Component skill approach was used to evaluate the participants on 10 basic skills of microteaching by 5 expert evaluators of the rank of Associate Professor and Professor who had already under gone Medical Education Technology Training and have themselves conducted several Medical Education Technology Training Programmes. Results: The participants mean score was highest for planning the session (8.1) and use of audio visual aids (8.1) followed by eye contact (7.1) and voice modulation (6.9). The least mean score was obtained for interaction and learner’s participation (4.8) followed by body language (5.7) and learning objectives (5.9). Discussion: Component skill approach in microteaching helps the teachers not only in improving the content but also methods of teaching and specific teaching skills.
