Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Micro-teaching is a teacher-training technique that reduces a lesson to one teaching skill, a small group and a short duration. Its strength comes from a focused feedback loop in which a trainee can improve one skill without managing every demand of a full lesson at once.
The standard micro-teaching cycle is repeated until the targeted skill improves:
Plan a brief lesson around one selected teaching skill.
Teach the short lesson to a small group.
Receive immediate, skill-specific feedback.
Re-plan and re-teach the lesson using that feedback.
Application
During supervised teaching practice, a complete classroom lesson exposes a trainee’s specific skill gaps. A short micro-teaching session can then isolate one of those gaps, provide immediate feedback and let the trainee apply the improvement in the next practice lesson.
This real lesson → focused rehearsal → next lesson sequence makes micro-teaching an effective support during the teaching-practice period, which is the interpretation used by the verified Bihar STET response sheet for this exact item.
Cross-check and contrast
Stage or claim | What it implies |
|---|---|
Always | Treats every stage alike and does not identify when the feedback loop can guide an ongoing practice lesson. |
After teaching-practice | Places the skill-repair cycle after the supervised practice lessons have ended. |
During teaching-practice | Connects a difficulty observed in one practice lesson with focused rehearsal and improvement in the next lesson. |
During preparation for teaching-practice | Builds foundational skills before real lessons begin, but cannot yet respond to difficulties revealed by an ongoing practice lesson. |
Result
The exam-specific answer is “during the teaching-practice.” Some teacher-education texts organize micro-teaching chiefly before teaching practice, so the preparation-stage wording can be defensible in a general discussion; for this previous-year item, the matching response sheet fixes the intended answer as the practice stage.
