4. INTRODUCTION Microteaching is one of the most recent innovations in teacher education program which aims to modify teachers behaviour according to the specified objectives. The history of microteaching dates back to 1961 when Keith Atchison, a doctor candidate at Stanford University, discovered the use of videotape-recorder for teaching interns in an innovation teacher education program.

DEFINITION “ Microteaching is a scaled down teaching encounter in class size and period ” D.W Allen (1966) According to definition : Microteaching is a teacher training programme in which student teachers enrich their teaching skills through practice teaching and scaling down the class size, duration of period, size of the topic under controlled conditions.

6. CHARaCTERiSTICS It is a scaled down teaching where the class size is 5 – 10 students, the class time is 5 – 10 minutes, the teaching skill is one at a time, the topic size is reduced. It provides immediate feedback to the student teacher for education. It is highly an individualized teacher training device.

7. REQUIREMENTS IN MICROTEACHING Observation schedule. Tape-recorder. CCTV. One way screen etc.

8. PHASES According to J.C Clift , microteaching procedure has three phases: Knowledge acquisition phase. Skill acquisition phase. Transfer phase .

9. These phases are presented by N.K Jangira and Ajit Singh : Knowledge acquisition phase : the students teacher attempts to acquire knowledge about skill, its rationale and its role in classroom. Skill acquisition phase : in this phase, student teacher prepares a micro-lesson and practices skill and executes microteaching cycle. Transfer phase : in this phase, student teacher integrates different skill. It occurs in real setting that is classroom and integrates all skills.

15. ADVANTAGES It helps the student teacher how to place a lesson in an efficient manner. It helps in developing self-confidence.

16. ADVANTAGES CONTD. It can be done either in classroom or in simulated conditions. It is a simple procedure because each time a single skill is practiced. It is non-threatening and convenient to the beginners because the group is limited to 5 to 10.

17. DISADVANTAGES Microteaching takes place in simulated conditions. The behaviour of teachers in classroom may be different from simulated conditions. Recording using audio or video tape may be costly affair. It is time consuming training technique. Microteaching restricts to classroom technique only and is not applicable to other methods of teaching.

18. COMPARISON BETWEEN MICROTEACHING & TRADITIONAL TEACHING MICROTEACHING Relatively simple. Controlled laboratory situation. 5 to 10 students. One skill at a time. Immediate feedback. Provision for re-teaching. Gains confidence Traditional classroom teaching Complex activity. Uncontrolled actual classroom situation. 35 to 40 students. Several skills at a time. No immediate feedback. No provision for re-teaching. Tensed and scared.

19. SUMMARY Microteaching is a teaching of one topic which should be taught within 5-10 minutes to 5-10 students. Teaching in short period of time to less number of students in simple and effective way, is microteaching. Microteaching has several advantages. It focuses on sharpening and developing specific teaching skills and eliminating errors. It enables understanding of behaviors important in classroom teaching. It increases the confidence of the learner teacher.
