A teacher teaches in a scaled-down situation of teaching. Which of the following terms can be used for this type of teaching?
AMacro teaching
BSampling teaching
CCooperative teaching
DMicro teaching ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Micro teaching
Explanation
Teaching in a scaled-down situation, with a small group, short duration and one skill at a time, is micro teaching.
Macro teaching is full-scale, real classroom teaching covering the whole content, which is the opposite of a scaled-down setting.
Sampling teaching is not a standard pedagogical term for a reduced practice situation.
Cooperative teaching means two or more teachers jointly planning and instructing the same class, not a miniaturised setup.
Micro teaching was developed at Stanford University by Dwight Allen and Robert Bush in the 1960s.
Its cycle is teach, feedback, re-plan, re-teach and re-feedback.
