In a typical micro-teaching session, the student-teacher receives feedback only after the lesson is complete. This can make it difficult for the student-teacher to make adjustments to their teaching in real time.
2. Limited scope
Micro-teaching sessions typically focus on a single aspect of teaching, such as questioning techniques or classroom management. This can make it difficult for student-teachers to develop a comprehensive understanding of the teaching process.
3. Artificial environment
Micro-teaching sessions are often conducted in a simulated classroom setting, which can be quite different from the real world of teaching. This can make it difficult for student-teachers to transfer the skills they learn in micro-teaching to the classroom.
4. Time constraints
Micro-teaching sessions are typically short, which can limit the amount of practice that student-teachers can get. This can make it difficult for student-teachers to develop proficiency in the skills they are learning.
5. Lack of diversity
Micro-teaching sessions often involve a small group of students who are similar in age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. This can make it difficult for student-teachers to learn how to teach to a diverse student body.
