Techniques Of Teacher Preparation

Item analysis is a step performed after constructing a test to evaluate the quality of test items, not during the construction process.

Micro Teaching is a teacher training technique that follows the cycle of planning a lesson, teaching it to a small group, receiving feedback, replanning based on feedback, and reteaching for improvement.

The correct sequence of scientific inquiry is:
1. Problematizing: Identifying and defining a problem.
2. Hypothesizing: Formulating a hypothesis to address the problem.
3. Testing: Conducting experiments or research to test the hypothesis.
4. Interpreting: Analyzing the results and drawing conclusions.

Qualitative research typically involves data collection in natural settings to explore real-life contexts and behaviors without experimental manipulation

The first four steps in analysing qualitative data are:
1. Reading the overall collected data (C).
2. Categorizing the collected data (B).
3. Naming or labelling the categories (D).
4. Identifying causal relationships (A).

The characteristics of a Normal Probability Curve (NPC) include:
• Symmetry: It is symmetric about its mean.
• Bilaterality: The two tails extend infinitely without touching the baseline.
• Unimodality: It has a single peak at the mean.

• The median is a positional measure and remains unaffected by extreme values.
• The mode, being the most frequent value, is also unaffected by outliers.
• The mean and range are sensitive to extreme values.

Diagnostic tests:
• Focus on identifying specific areas of difficulty (C).
• Are typically qualitative to analyze errors and underlying causes (D).
• Do not cover broad content areas but rather target specific learning gaps.

• Fill in the blanks- Supply type item (IV).
• Choose the correct alternative- Selection type item (III).
• Critically analyze one novel of Premchand- Extended response type item (II).
• Give five ways of saving energy at home- Restricted response type item (I).

• (A) Micro Teaching- Teacher preparation.
• (B) Role Play- Decide the part to act.
• (C) Programmed Learning- Principle of sequencing.
• (D) Maxim of Teaching- Starts with concrete.

Micro teaching is a scaled-down teaching technique used for teacher training, allowing trainees to focus on mastering specific teaching skills in a controlled environment.
