The document presents an overview of microteaching, a teacher training method that simplifies the teaching process by reducing class size, lesson time, and focusing on specific teaching skills. It outlines the components, process, and advantages of microteaching, highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing teacher performance and facilitating feedback. The microteaching cycle includes planning, teaching, receiving feedback, and re-teaching, with an example lesson on galaxies.

2. Introduction to Microteaching:
• A method of teacher training/ teaching technique.
• Simplifies the complex teaching process so that the student-
teacher can cope with it.
• Scaled Down Teaching Encounter.
• Teaching reduced in Class size, Concept, time and number of
pupils.

3. General Teaching Skills:
• Stimulus Variation.
• Silence and non-verbal cues.
• Reinforcement of student
participation.
• Fluency in asking questions.
• Probing questions.
• Higher order questions.
• Divergent questions.
• Recognizing attending
behavior.
• Illustrating and use of
examples.
• Planned repetition.
• Completeness of
Communication.

5. Micro Teaching Process
• Class size  reduced to about 5-10 pupils.
• Length of the lesson  reduced to about 5-10
minutes.
• Focus  one teaching skill at a time; and not
on the content of the lesson.

6. Components of Micro Teaching
• The teacher trainee
• Students [5-10]
• Observers [2]
• Supervisor [Teacher Educator - 1]

3. FEEDBACK
1. PLAN 2. TEACH
4. RE-PLAN
6. RE-FEEDBACK
5. RE-TEACH

8. Model Micro Lesson.
• Subject- Geography Class vth.
• Topic- Galaxy in the universe.
• Duration- 6minutes.
• Explanation by the teacher –

 What is a Milky Way galaxy?
 Name the famous galaxy that can be seen with naked eye.

9. Advantages:
