UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and E correctly describe micro-teaching. A is true because it focuses on specific skills in a scaled-down format. B is true since time, students and content are deliberately reduced. C is true because the micro-teaching cycle emphasises repeated teaching with feedback, and E is true as video recordings can support self-analysis. D is false because micro-teaching usually takes place with small groups, and F is false since its main purpose is skill development, not just evaluation; therefore A, B, C and E only is correct.

Option A:
Option A brings together all four true statements about the nature, structure and tools of micro-teaching while excluding the incorrect claims that it uses full classes or only evaluates students. Hence this option provides a complete and accurate description.

Option B:
Option B omits E, ignoring the important use of video for self-reflection in many micro-teaching programmes. As a result, A, B and C only does not fully reflect current practice.

Option C:
Option C includes F, which wrongly asserts that micro-teaching is only evaluative. Because F contradicts the developmental purpose of the technique, B, C, E and F only mixes true and false ideas and cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D incorporates D, which insists on standard class sizes, contrary to the scaled-down nature of micro-teaching. Thus A, C, D and E only is not a valid answer.
