Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the level of understanding of faculty about microteaching and their desire to improve their teaching competency by microteaching. Methodology: This sequential explanatory mixed research involved 44 faculty members from a private medical and dental College in Karachi. A questionnaire based on five points Likert scale was used for collecting quantitative data. Qualitative data were collected using semi-structured interviews of faculty members. Case study design and constructivist and pragmatic philosophical paradigm were used. Results: Faculty members had limited knowledge on microteaching but they were interested in improving their level of knowledge. They demanded a workshop for understanding microteaching process. They were also interested in applying microteaching as a faculty development tool at our institute. Three themes were identified, faculty knowledge, perception of faculty on effectiveness of microteaching and areas of faculty development by microteaching strategy. Conclusion: Microteaching is an effective tool for training medical teachers and faculty members of our institute had positive attitude towards its application at our medical and dental college.
