A1, 2, 3 ✓ Correct

B1, 3, 2

C2, 1, 3

D3, 1, 2

Correct answer: (A) 1, 2, 3

Explanation

The phases of microteaching in correct order are knowledge acquisition, skill acquisition and transfer, that is 1, 2, 3.

Microteaching, developed at Stanford by Dwight Allen and colleagues, is a scaled-down training of one skill at a time.

In the knowledge acquisition phase the trainee learns about the skill through observation and analysis.

In the skill acquisition phase the trainee plans, teaches a short lesson and gets feedback, then re-teaches.

In the transfer phase the mastered skill is carried into real classroom teaching.

The teach, feedback and re-teach cycle sits within the skill acquisition phase.
