Abstract
Micro-teaching is a teacher training and faculty development technique
whereby the teacher reviews a recording of a teaching session, in order to get
constructive feedback from peers and/or students about what has worked and what
improvements can be made to their teaching technique. In the original process, a
teacher was asked to prepare a short lesson (usually 20 minutes) for a small group
of learners who may not have been their own students. This was then recorded on
video. After the lesson, the teacher, teaching colleagues, a master teacher and the
students together viewed the videotape and commented on what they saw
happening, referencing the teacher's learning objectives. Seeing the video and
getting comments from colleagues and students provided teachers with an often
intense "under the microscope" view of their teaching. Following paper discuss
different aspects of microteaching.
