Microteaching is a teaching training technique where teachers practice teaching a short lesson to a small group of students. It is intended to help teachers improve specific skills like lesson introduction, explanation, questioning, and reinforcement. The microteaching process involves planning a short lesson, teaching it, receiving feedback, and reteaching with improvements. Some benefits are increased teacher confidence, improved teaching skills, and opportunities for skill development and feedback. However, microteaching only focuses on skills and may not help teachers acquire content knowledge or address broader administrative challenges.
