MICRO-LEARNING FOR EDUCATORS AND TEACHING AND LEARNING

Microlearning is an educational strategy that involves delivering content in small, focused segments that can be easily consumed in a short amount of time. This approach is particularly effective in teaching for several reasons:

Increased Retention: Short, focused lessons help learners retain information better by avoiding cognitive overload.

Flexibility: Learners can access content at their own pace and on their own schedule, making it easier to fit learning into busy lifestyles.

Engagement: Microlearning often incorporates multimedia elements and interactive content, which can make learning more engaging and enjoyable.

Reinforcement: Frequent, short sessions can reinforce learning through repetition and practice, which aids in the retention of knowledge.

Relevance: Microlearning can be tailored to meet the immediate needs of learners, providing relevant information that can be applied right away.

In practice, microlearning can take many forms, including video tutorials, infographics, quizzes, and mobile apps. It is particularly effective in corporate training, professional development

Hello Samreen
Micro-learning involves delivering content in small, focused segments, which can be highly beneficial for educators. Key advantages include:

1. Focused Learning: Targets specific topics in manageable chunks.
   2.Flexibility: Fits easily into busy schedules.
   3.Just-in-Time Learning: Provides information when needed.
2. Increased Engagement: Short and interactive content is more engaging.
3. Improved Application: Helps in applying new skills directly to teaching.

Examples include short videos, infographics, interactive quizzes, mini-courses, and podcasts. To implement, identify key areas for development, create or find relevant content, integrate into professional development programs, encourage use, and assess effectiveness.

Hello Sir hopefully you have good time,

Absolutely Micro-learning is a processs of learning content through bite sized, well planned modules and short-term learning activities. I find it helpfull for both educator and students development. Educator could revise and add new learnings to their knowledge. Teaching is continuous process so educator will easily get advantage from Micro-learning methods in their tough routines.

@Samreen-Tahir The core concept of this topic can be conclude that, Micro-teaching is a teacher training and faculty development technique whereby the teacher reviews a recording of a teaching session, in order to get constructive feedback from peers or students about what has worked and what improvements can be made to their teaching technique.

Hi dear,
Yes mostly Micro-learning is for teacher traning programs, but whta i find it helpfull for a teacher to polish his or her teaching and learning. Teachers could refresh their knowledge and deliver more significantly to their students. As Micro-learning technique avoid boredom and keep the crunch of topic fresh.

@Samreen-Tahir Yes. "Micro-learning for Educators in Teaching & Learning" is about giving teachers small, focused lessons that are easy to understand and use right away in their classrooms. These short lessons help teachers quickly learn new skills, keep up with the latest teaching trends, and improve how they teach, all without taking up too much of their time. This method encourages ongoing learning, flexibility, and practical use of what they've learned, leading to better teaching and more engaged students.

Hello
Absolutely Sir, micro-teaching is beneficial for teachers to enhance and update their knowledge to be more effective in their class.

@Samreen-Tahir What do you think, which one is best; micro teaching or macro teaching keeping curriculum and syllabus in this regard.

@FarhanMehboob
Hello sir hope you are doing well,
Absolutely macro-learning is essential in all manner but Micro-learning helps to retain the learnings got through macro learning. Combining micro and macro learning creates a flexible learning environment where teachers can engage in short, targeted lessons to quickly upskill while still committing to longer courses for deep, transformative learning. Micro learning can serve as a reinforcement tool after a macro learning experience, ensuring that teachers retain and apply their newly acquired knowledge over time.

@Samreen-Tahir Dear Tahir,
You have described it very well. In your opinion, which option would be most beneficial for children? Since we have different categories of children, each child has their own unique needs. What are your thoughts on this matter? Thank you.

Hello Sir,
Hopefully you are doing well
As you enquire about micro or macro learning which is good for students if we take primary school students, For them my point is that, if a balanced approach incorporating both micro-learning and macro-learning can be effective, depending on the learning objectives and the students' needs. Micro learning could be used as to divide units into smaller chunks to maintain their attention, engagement and flexibility to absorb the concept . Whereas Macro-Learning is important for developing foundational knowledge, exploring concepts in depth, and engaging in hands-on activities that build essential skills. In micro-learning we can use flash card drill, mini quizzes and games, and short writing prompt ,these may vary in different subject. Macro-learning we may use project base learning, story telling or retelling, story writing, science experiment .

@Samreen-Tahir Your points really helpful for students and also for primary students. Using micro teaching techniques students will learn more and in energetic way.
