4. INTRODUCTION
Microteaching is one of the most recent
innovations in teacher education program which
aims to modify teachers behaviour according to the
specified objectives.
The history of microteaching dates back to 1961
when Keith Atchison, a doctor candidate at
Stanford University, discovered the use of
videotape-recorder for teaching interns in an
innovation teacher education program.

5. DEFINITION
“Microteaching is a scaled down teaching
encounter in class size and period”
D.W Allen (1966)
According to definition:
Microteaching is a teacher training programme in which
student teachers enrich their teaching skills through
practice teaching and scaling down the class size, duration
of period, size of the topic under controlled conditions.

6. CHARaCTERiSTICS
It is a scaled down teaching where the class size is 5 – 10 students, the
class time is 5 – 10 minutes, the teaching skill is one at a time, the topic
size is reduced.
It provides immediate feedback to the student teacher for education.
It is highly an individualized teacher training device.

7. REQUIREMENTSIN MICROTEACHING
Observation schedule.
Tape-recorder.
CCTV.
One way screen etc.

8. PHASES
According to J.C Clift, microteaching procedure has three
phases:
Knowledge acquisition phase.
Skill acquisition phase.
Transfer phase.

9. These phases are presented by N.K Jangira and Ajit
Singh:
Knowledge acquisition phase: the students teacher
attempts to acquire knowledge about skill, its
rationale and its role in classroom.
Skill acquisition phase: in this phase, student
teacher prepares a micro-lesson and practices skill
and executes microteaching cycle.
Transfer phase: in this phase, student teacher
integrates different skill. It occurs in real setting
that is classroom and integrates all skills.

19. ADVANTAGES
It helps the student teacher how to place a lesson in an efficient
manner.
It helps in developing self-confidence.
The knowledge of practice and teaching skills can be given by the use
of microteaching.
It is an effective feedback device for the modification of teacher
behaviour.
The specific teaching skills are developed by the microteaching
experiences.
The training of teacher is more individualized.

20. ADVANTAGES CONTD.
It can be done either in classroom or in simulated conditions.
It is a simple procedure because each time a single skill is practiced.
It is non-threatening and convenient to the beginners because the
group is limited to 5 to 10.

21. DISADVANTAGES
Microteaching takes place in simulated conditions. The
behaviour of teachers in classroom may be different from
simulated conditions.
Recording using audio or video tape may be costly affair.
It is time consuming training technique.
Microteaching restricts to classroom technique only and
is not applicable to other methods of teaching.

22. COMPARISON BETWEEN MICROTEACHING&
TRADITIONALTEACHING
MICROTEACHING
•Relatively simple.
•Controlled laboratory situation.
•5 to 10 students.
•One skill at a time.
•Immediate feedback.
•Provision for re-teaching.
•Gains confidence
TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM TEACHING
•Complex activity.
•Uncontrolled actual classroom situation.
•35 to 40 students.
•Several skills at a time.
•No immediate feedback.
•No provision for re-teaching.
•Tensed and scared.

23. SUMMARY
Microteaching is a teaching of one topic which should
be taught within 5-10 minutes to 5-10 students.
Teaching in short period of time to less number of
students in simple and effective way, is microteaching.
Microteaching has several advantages. It focuses on
sharpening and developing specific teaching skills and
eliminating errors. It enables understanding of
behaviors important in classroom teaching. It
increases the confidence of the learner teacher.
