As a summary of our first Microteaching Exercise, my peer evaluation came out as follows:
Learning Objectives: clear to very clear, one person commented on a comfortably paced speaking voice.
Bridge/Intro: existed. Some people appreciated the small historical background of the tie.
Pretest: yes. I merely asked if anyone had any experience tying a tie.
Participatory activity: liked that I had brought a tie for everyone to practice on.
Post-test: checked in time to time, and ensured that everyone's knot was reasonably completed. One person commented that it would have been nice to go over the steps more than once to ensure that it was remembered.
Summary/conclusion: I had a handout that people could go over on their own time, should they choose to do so. Although one comment included that they felt there could have been more time to go over things one more time.
Strengths: involvement was good, steps were clear and waited for everyone to complete the steps, time management good, clear direction, good eye contact, good visual aid
Improvements: there were suggestions indicating handing out the instruction sheet at the beginning might be helpful for everyone trying to figure out steps, or slowing down the steps just a little bit to allow for better following along.
In terms of my own thoughts, I was pleased that everyone was so eager to participate and happy to try out the tie tying techniques. I liked that I was able to get through everything I prepared and that it was a fun activity.
If I were to do it again however, I might have followed the suggestion in handing out the instruction sheet during the lesson to ease the process. There were a few steps that I had to repeat due to my going too fast the first time through. I could have made it easier by using only one knot and having my group tie it more than one time. This way, each person would be allowed to try for themselves without guidance and that might help the information to be recalled easier. I also thought that it would be fun to have a tie-off and have a timer to see who might be able to tie the best knot the fastest. Competition might make for a more interactive and hilarious lesson.
Based on my peers' evaluation, I think that I had a fairly successful lesson. They were very involved in the lesson and I thought that their comments mirrored my thoughts pretty closely. Although they may have been a little too kind. I felt surprisingly nervous and had to go back and re-do a few steps because of going too fast and they were really forgiving of me for that.
