This document discusses microteaching, which is a technique used to help teacher trainees develop teaching skills. It involves teaching a short lesson (5-10 minutes) to a small group of students (5-10) while focusing on a single teaching skill. The key steps are: orientation, demonstration, planning, teaching, feedback, re-planning, re-teaching, and more feedback. Microteaching has benefits like allowing trainees to practice skills in a controlled setting, receive immediate feedback, and improve specific teaching behaviors. However, it also has limitations such as not reflecting real classroom environments and being time consuming.

3.  It is learning process of teaching and tool to
help the teacher trainee to develop skills
under laboratory conditions .
 Micro teaching is a training technique which
is called “micro” since a teacher trainee
practices with a small group of 5 to 10 pupils
for a short duration of 5 to 10 minutes on a
selected concept of a lesson and concentrates
on a single skills which is magnified.

4.  Allen,D.W.(1966): “ Micro teaching is a scale
down teaching encounter in class size and
class time”.
 Mc.Knight (1971): “Micro teaching is a scale
down teaching encounter designed to
develop new skills and refine old ones”
 LA Due: “Micro teaching is an opportunity to
gain classroom capabilities and expertise
before the student teacher starts entering the
teaching situation”

11. It does not take into consideration the overall
environment of teaching.
It is skill oriented technique instead of content
-oriented.
Microteaching labs are expensive.
Experts in microteaching are generally scarce.
Time consuming
Disturb existing time table.
