of teaching.
Limitations of Micro-teaching
• It is skill oriented; Content not emphasized.
• A large number of trainees cannot be given the
opportunity for re-teaching and re-planning.

PEER TEACHING
Peer teaching is the process by
which a competent pupil, with
minimal training and with a
teacher’s guidance, helps one
or more students at the same
grade level learn a skill or
concept
Concepts for Peer Teaching
•
•
•
It relies on strategies that use students
to teach other students
It is not the same as partner learning, in
which students are paired together for
one or more learning activities to learn
“side by side”
It is not to be misinterpreted as
Cooperative learning on a smaller
scale

In order for the model to be most effective, the
teacher must help student teachers understand
and carry out the operation for which they will
assume responsibility. It is not simply telling a
student to go teach another students
Keep in mind that the peer teaching model calls
for the student teachers to lead only a small
portion of the instructional process.
The three key instructional components carried out
by the tutors are task management , instructional
information, and social management.
