The Effectiveness of Microteaching with OMTA Model

Abstract

The Microteaching course is a scaled down teaching subject that provides basic teaching skills and experience of teaching and learning student teacher. The general objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of microteaching with the OMTA Model (Orientation, Modelling, Training, and Assessment) in the Biology Education of Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha. Specifically the research objectives were: 1) to find out and describe the learning outcomes of the Biology Education of Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha students who take Microteaching Classes with OMTA microteaching model, 2) to determine and effectively implement the OMTA microteaching model, 4) to determine student responses to Microteaching Classes using OMTA microteaching model. The research subjects were 18 Biology Education Department students who attended microteaching lectures in the sixth semester of academic year 2017/2018. The data were collected by observation, tests and questionnaires. They were analysed descriptively and statistically by one sample t-test. The results showed that the application of OMTA microteaching model was effectively used in microteaching lectures. In addition, the knowledge and teaching skills of students including categories are very good, the use of the OMTA microteaching model in lecture was very effective, and the students' response was very positive.
