Abstract: | Micro-teaching aims at probing questions to a small unit of pupils in a short time and re-teaching the lessons to a next unit after feedback sessions. Micro-teaching here is presented as an alternative to the traditional approaches to teacher education in countries where increases in efficiency are essential. In this context the author specifies a set of identifiable basic skills, which are essential for effective training, and draws attention to a number of micro-teaching characteristics, which activate an actual training situation. Besides some practical questions are put forward, i.a. the needed equipment for a micro-teaching laboratory, the methods of scheduling, the recruitment of pupils, and the integration of micro-teaching into the rest of the training curriculum.
