If you are pursuing a B.Ed. then you probably know the importance of micro-teaching in B.Ed. program. To practice micro-teaching you have to make a lesson plan on that particular topic, which is not a very easy task. So, here is a ready-made micro-teaching lesson plan for the skill of stimulus variation in science. Before you start making your micro lesson plan you to gain some detailed knowledge of micro-teaching. This science micro lesson plan is for the pedagogy of science.
The Skill of Stimulus Variation Micro-Teaching Lesson Plan in Science for B.Ed.
Almost every Teacher Training Institution or B.Ed. colleges micro-teaching is practiced. In those institutions which are under Dibrugarh University, micro-teaching is practiced in the 3rd semester. We have already posted about micro-teaching on this website.
There are 10 major micro-teaching skills practiced in teacher training institutions or B.Ed. colleges. But in this post, we are only going to show you how to make a micro lesson on the skill of stimulus variation for the pedagogy of science. For other skills please refer to our website category “B.Ed. Lesson Plan”.
To make a lesson plan on any skill you must have proper knowledge about that skill. Also, you might know that components of any given skill are very important while making a micro lesson plan. So, let’s see what are the components of the skill of stimulus variation.
Components of the Skill of Stimulus Variation
There are 8 components of the skill of stimulus variation practiced in micro-teaching. These are –
- Focusing
- Eye contact and movement
- Gestures
- Voice modulation
- Pausing
- Teacher’s movement
- Change in interaction style
- Switching sensory channels (oral/visual)
Remember that you have to mention each component in your science micro lesson plan for the skill of stimulus variation. You have to perform micro-teaching in your teacher training institutions keeping these components in mind.
Model Science Micro Lesson Plan on Plants for Stimulus Variation Skill – Class 6
This is a sample micro-teaching lesson plan for the skill of stimulus variation in science. The topic of this micro plan for stimulus variation is taken from class 6 NCERT Science Textbook. This stimulus skill micro plan is made on the topic “Plant – Its Various Parts”
Identification of Data:
| Subject: General Science | Teacher: Jintu Sonowal |
| Topic: Plan and Its Various Parts | Time: 7 Min |
| Class: VI | Date: …….. |
Teaching Aids:
- General Aids: Blackboard, Chalk, Duster, Pointer
- Specific Aids: A Chart on Various parts of a plant, A small plant
Introduction:
| Steps | Teacher’s Activities | Pupil’s Activities | Components of the skill |
| I N T R O D U C T I O N | The Teacher will enter the classroom and welcome the pupils. He will keep properly the teaching aids on the table and rearrange the classroom if necessary. Then the teacher will ask a common question for the class- Q. Name some common plants found in our locality. | Students will respond and wish the teacher well. Students are expected to give answer as follows – Mango, Lemon, Rose | Interaction with the pupils Pausing |
Development of The Stimulus Skill:
It is kept in mind while preparing a micro lesson plan for the skill of stimulus variation in science or any other subject, we have to include all components of stimulus variation skill.
| Steps | Teacher’s Activities | Pupil’s Activities | Components of the skill |
| D E V E L O P M E N T | The teacher will appreciate their answers and then announce: Today we will discuss “PLANT AND IT’S VARIOUS PARTS” Then the teacher will explain the definition of plants and the various types of plants with suitable examples. The teacher will ask the pupils, “What are the various parts of a plant?” (Pause a little while and direct to a pupil) After getting an appropriate answer the teacher will say that plants typically have six basic parts. Those are roots, stem, node, internode, fruit, and flower. Then the teacher says how these parts can be divided into two categories. They are – The Root system and Shoot System Then the teacher will display a chart showing the various parts of a plant, as well as the root system and shoot system. Then the teacher will ask the following questions: Which parts of a plant constitute the vegetative parts? Jintu Potato falls in which system of the plant? Do you agree with Jintu? Mamoni After that, the teacher will ask the pupils to give some more examples of vegetables that fall into the root system of the plant. | The pupils will listen attentively and note down the important points. The pupil will answer: “Roots, leaf, flower, etc.” The pupils will listen attentively. The pupils will observe. Roots, stems and leaves constitute the vegetative parts of a plant. The root system of the plant. Yes The pupils will expect to give some examples. | Voice modulation Focusing Interaction, Eye contact, teacher’s movement, pausing Voice modulation Gestures Teacher’s movement Switching sensory channels (oral-visual) Change of interaction style ( teacher-pupil interaction ) Change of interaction style (pupil–pupil interaction ) Change of interaction style ( teacher-pupil interaction ) |
Conclusion:
| Steps | Teacher’s Activities | Pupil’s Activities | Components of the skill |
| C O N C L U S I O N | Then the teacher will conclude the class, “So, today we have learned that a plant is a living thing that grows on the earth and has stem, leaves, and roots. The parts of a plant can be divided into two categories.” | Pupils will listen attentively | Voice modulation Gestures |
The time given to complete the stimulus skill during micro-teaching is 7 min. So, while preparing make sure that you can complete the lesson plan within the specified time.
