Abstract

Introduction: Microteaching is an excellent tool for teacher improvement. A well prepared feedback is the key instrument used in microteaching sessions. However the ideal person for giving feedback is not defined.

Objective: The objective of this study is to obtain feedback from groups of differing teaching-learning exposures on same microteaching session and compare the responses.

Materials and Methods: Ten microteaching sessions were conducted in front of four assessment groups comprising of two senior level faculties, two junior level faculties, two postgraduate students and two undergraduate students. Structured feedback obtained from all groups, using standard questionnaire. Feedback responses from all groups were analyzed.

Results: Responses from differing teaching-learning exposure groups were comparable. Differences between total scores obtained by the groups were not significant.

Conclusions: Microteaching is an excellent teacher development tool irrespective of the feedback provider’s exposure to teaching-learning methods
