Concept:Micro-teaching is a training technique where teaching is simplified to focus on one skill at a time.
Explanation:The word 'micro' means small or miniature.
In micro-teaching, the teacher delivers a short lesson to a small group of students for a brief duration (e.g., 15–20 minutes).
Only one specific teaching skill (like questioning or blackboard writing) is practiced.
The lesson is scaled down in terms of class size, time, complexity, and activities.
Immediate feedback helps the teacher improve that skill.
It is a controlled, safe practice environment, not a real classroom with multiple demands.
Thus, micro-teaching is essentially scaled‑down teaching.
Answer:A. Scaled down teaching
