Answer 1

Answer:

A. It is a skill-oriented technique and does not focus on content.

Micro teaching mainly focuses on developing specific teaching skills (like questioning, reinforcement, explanation). Because of this:

• It may give less importance to subject content ❌ (This is considered a demerit.)

Other options:

• (B) Helps accomplish specific teacher competencies ✔ (This is an advantage.)

• (C) It is a scaled-down teaching technique ✔ (This is a feature, not a demerit.)
