Microteaching is a teacher training technique where student teachers plan and teach short lessons to small groups of students. It is intended to help student teachers practice and improve specific teaching skills like explaining concepts, questioning techniques, and engaging students. The microteaching process involves teaching a short lesson, receiving feedback, revising the lesson, and re-teaching. This cycle is repeated until the student teacher achieves the desired teaching skill level. Microteaching allows student teachers to practice skills in a safe environment and receive feedback to improve their teaching abilities.

3. DEFINITION
Microteaching is a scaled down teaching encounter in class size and
class time. - Allen DW
Microteaching is a training techniques which requires student teacher
to teach a single concept using specified teaching skill to a number of
pupils in a short duration of time. - Passi BK and lalita MS

4. What is Microteaching?
The teaching of a small unit of content to the small group of students (6-
10 number) in a small amount of time (5-7 min.) means Micro Teaching.
It is a skill training technique.
It is a short session teaching.
To train inexperience student-teachers for acquiring teaching skills.
To improve the skills of experience teachers.

5. Microteaching Setting
 Teaching :6 minutes
 Feedback :6 minutes
 Re-planning :12 minutes
 Re-teaching :6 minutes
 Re-feedback :6 minutes
 TOTAL = 36 minutes

7. Steps is micro Teaching
 Planning
 Teaching
 Feedback
 Re-Planning
 Re- Teaching
 Re- Feedback

8. Steps is micro Teaching
 Planning: Planning the lesson The student teacher plans a short (micro)
lesson with the help of his supervisor, in which he can practice a particular
skill.
 Teaching: Teaching the lesson: The pupil-teacher teaches the lesson to a small group of
pupils (5-10). The lesson is observed by supervisor or peers or video-taped or audio-taped or
televised at close circuit television

9. Steps is micro Teaching
 Feedback: The teaching is followed by discussion to provide the
feedback to the trainee.
 Re-Planning: In the light of the discussion and suggestions the
pupil-teacher re-plans the lesson in order to practice the small
skill effectively.

10. Steps is micro Teaching
 Re-teaching: The revised lesson is re-taught to another small group of students
of same class for the same class duration to practice the small skill.
 Re-Feedback: The re-teaching is again followed by discussion, suggestions and
encouraging the teaching performance. Thus the feedback is again provided to
the trainee.
 Repeating the cycle: The ‘teach re-teach’ cycle is repeated till desired level of
skill is achieved.

12. Characteristics
