A small‐group approach for microteaching programmes

Abstract

The questions that are raised by microteaching, at least at this point in its evolution, far exceed the answers it has been able to supply. Microteaching currently has the same promise, and the same danger, that newly devised research and training techniques have always had : the promise of opening entirely new avenues, perspectives, and alternatives to human exploration ; the danger of locking in too early on a first alternative which arose purely out of chance and convenience.
