How do students learn from micro lesson?

Behaviorism

tricks? What rewards were given to the animals when they have performed a
trick?
This is the principle behind behaviorism.

Identify your learners .

Brainstorm: identify some problem areas in your curriculum subject.
State clearly the objectives that you hope to achieve.
Choose appropriate samples, scenarios, case studies, stories, questions or
problems that will help you to achieve the objective.
5. Design student activities that will promote thinking rather than just recall of
information.

Five instructional approaches how micro Lesson can be

used in school
1. Resourced-based
This approach, various links to the WWW can be established and students will
access the website to collect information, facts, opinions and then synthesize
them or compare to different view points.

2. Problem-based
Micro lesson can now be used maybe to present instructional problems

In a multimedia fashion through which activities can be formulated and where

students can be engaged in the process of investigation and problem solving.
3. Case-based
4. Collaborative-based
In this approach, students can be asked to work collaboratively or in pairs to
undergo and instructional activity presented intentionally the micro lessons to be
jointly work through.
5. Stimulation-based
Finally, micro lessons can also be used to create stimulation where students can
observe particular phenomena in learn from the processes and the variables that
will affect the stimulated action.

Our learning about micro lesson it focuses only a small section of a

topic. It fulfills one or two instructional objectives. It can be completed within
one or two class periods. It also encourages students to build their own
learning or to learn on their own, micro lesson is a student centered. There
are elements, guidelines and objective in micro lesson.
We decide our topic will be Higher Thinking Skills through IT-Based
project.
