Compared with the wider traditional classroom, micro-class is more suitable for teachers' needs because of its concentrated problems and prominent themes: micro-class is mainly to highlight the teaching of a certain subject in classroom teaching, or to reflect the teaching and learning activities of a certain teaching link and teaching theme in classroom. Compared with the complicated and varied teaching content to be completed in a traditional class, the content of micro-class is more concise, so it can also be called "micro-class".
