Micro-teaching is a teacher education technique aimed at developing specific teaching skills through controlled lessons with small groups. It includes pre-instructional, instructional, and post-instructional skills, providing immediate feedback and individualized training. While it is beneficial for acquiring teaching skills and incorporating technology, it can be time-consuming and may limit exposure to broader classroom challenges.
