Experiencing mock-teaching !



The last few weeks we have had the chance to experience mock-teaching.

Mock-teaching is it the best way in my opinion to develop pedagogy. As we all know to become the teachers, we want to be we should practice a lot and that’s why mock-teaching is very helpful.

During mock-teaching we as future teachers, teach a short lesson to our group members in class to see how our teaching process performs.

I personally have really enjoyed this project. Its one of the best I have ever experienced. Because its very entertaining and its very helpful. We share different ideas between each-other and I have benefited a lot from it.

The advantage of it is that each one of us gets to experience a whole teaching process from the beginning till the end. The process starts by preparing for the topic when u brainstorm and you research on the activities that should be used. And it continues by performing it and you feel like a real teacher because you have to handle the class, you have to teach the lesson, you have to perform the activities and everything.




The best part of it it’s the feedback. I think this is the main point. Through feedback not only the students who are mock-teaching but everyone gets involved and everyone learns from it. Here students suggest what we should improve, what we should have done differently and what we did best. Even the ones who are not mock-teaching benefit from this because you passively learn how to improve yourself what mistakes not to make and what suggestions shared to use later. So, during feedback’s many ideas are shared that will help us a lot in our teaching process.


I’m  very happy that I have been part of this experience.

  1. It really is one of the best we have ever had. We have learned a lot of theory so just words on paper but never practiced them in first hand. Nice post 😊

  2. A good post Ensila! I do agree with you with the fact that mock-teaching has helped us to work in groups for our projects, share our ideas and reflecting on them. I think that we should have done this before and been familiar with the elements and issues experiencing during the teaching.
