Reciprocal Teaching Style Presented by: Edielyn P. Apig Reciprocal Teaching Is an approach often involves students using a skill card or reciprocal card to learn how to perform a skill with a partner. Involves taking turns performing, observing and providing feedback to one another. Mosston and Ashworth in their book, 'Teaching Physical Education: A Handbook for Primary and Secondary School Teachers'. The spectrum of teaching styles were first designed by Mosston and Ashworth as they developed a cohesive framework to serve as a guide for physical education teachers. The authors proposed a spectrum of 11 teaching styles, with reciprocal teaching being one of the teacher-centered styles. According to Mosston and Ashworth, the reciprocal teaching style involves a four-step process: 1. Teacher provides students with a skill/reciprocal card, technique video, or models the skill with clear teaching points for the class. 2. Students then work in pairs or small groups, practicing how to perform the skill. 3. When in the role of observer, the student will give feedback in comparison to the skill card or example. 4. The teacher observes the pairs/groups and provides feedback to and through the observers.  Observer Doer Observe Perform Give the skills immediate feedback Teacher Observe the partner Give feedback to the observer Benefits of Reciprocal Teaching By leading their peers through a skill or activity, students are able to develop a deeper understanding of the skills they are learning and build confidence in their abilities. Encourages communication and leadership skills, which are valuable both in and out of the classroom.  Reciprocal teaching can be applied to a variety of Physical Education activities. For example: If students are learning how to play basketball, they can be divided into small groups and assigned a specific skill to teach to their peers, such as dribbling or shooting. If students are learning how to swim, they can be assigned a specific stroke to teach to their group members, such as freestyle or breaststroke. Reference Mosston, M., & Ashworth, S. (2002).
