Micro teaching
Microteaching, evolved in the
late sixties by Alien to
improve the skills of teachers
is an excellent vehicle of
providing teachers with an
opportunity to improve their
teaching skills.
Microteaching is a scaled down teaching
encounter in class size and time (Allen,
1966). • Microteaching is a system of
controlled practice that makes it possible
to concentrate on specified teaching
behavior and to practice teaching under
controlled conditions (Allen and
Eve,1968).
It is a teaching training technique for
learning teaching skills.
It employs real teaching situation for
developing skills and helps to get deeper
knowledge regarding the art of teaching.
The teaching of a small unit of content to
the small group of students(6-10 number)
in a small amount of time ( 20 – 30 min.)
Microteaching is a scaled down teaching
encounter in which a teacher teaches a
small unit to a group of five pupils for a
small period of 5 to 20 minutes (L.C.
Singh,1997).
Characteristics of microteaching
Microteaching is real although the
environment is constructed.
It focuses on training for the
accomplishment of specific tasks such as
instructional skills, techniques of
teaching, mastery of curricular materials
and demonstrations of teaching methods
• The duration of teaching as well as number
of students are less.
• The content is divided into smaller units
which makes the teaching easier.
• There is a provision of immediate feedback.
• In microteaching cycle, there is facility of re-
planning, re-teaching and re-evaluation.
• It puts the teacher under the microscope.
• The problem of discipline can also be
controlled.
Components of Micro teaching
Techniques
1. Student Teacher - Various capacities
are developed in them- capacity of class
management, maintaining discipline.
2. Feedback devices- changes in the
behaviors of the students.
• Skill: ability to do something well or
expertness. Teaching skills - a set of
teachers’ behaviors which are specially
effective in bringing about the desired
changes in the students.
• Examples:
• Lecturing skill
• Skill of black-board writing
• Skill of asking questions
Uses of Micro Teaching
• Helps in reducing the complexities of the
normal class room teaching.

• Helps the teacher trainee gain more

confidence in real teaching,

• It creates among the teacher trainees an

awareness of various skills of which teaching
is composed of.
• It simulates the class room scene and
gives the teacher trainee an experience of
real teaching.
• It helps in systematic and objective
analysis of the pattern of class room
communication through specific
observation schedule.
• It is more effective in modifying teacher
behaviour.
It is an effective technique for transfer of
teaching competencies to the class room.
It helps in getting acquainted with class room
manners to a certain extent.
Feedback enables the teacher trainee to
consciously concentrate on specific
behavioural modification.
It helps the teacher trainees in better
understanding of the meaning and concept of
the term teaching.
Demerits
• Micro teaching is skill oriented and not
content oriented.
• It covers only a few specific skills.
• Lack of material resources like video
recording facility and trained supervisors.
• The question of integrating the skill is quite
challenging.
• Teaching is not just a summation of
teaching skills.
• Sufficient literature on micro teaching is
not yet available.
Teaching Skills
Teaching skills are specific instructional
activities and procedures that a teacher
may use in the class room. (Gage 1968).
Skill is an act of teaching. (Allen).
A teaching skill is a group of teaching
acts/ behaviours intended to facilitate
pupils learning activity directly or
indirectly.
Characteristics of Teaching Skills
1. Teaching skills have three basic
components perception, cognition and
action.
2. Teaching skills have three basic
dimensions- non verbal behaviour,
openness and nature of moves in teaching
to which the skill belongs.
