Microcomputer-Based Simulations for Training Fundamental Teaching Skills.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Strang, Harold R.; And Others – Journal of Teacher Education, 1987
A microcomputer-based simulation, developed to promote preservice elementary school teachers' acquisition of fundamental feedback, time-management, and behavior-management skills through powerful reinforcement, prompting, and feedback training aids, was proven successful in several applications involving entry-level education students.

Microcomputer-Based Simulation in Training Elementary Teachers.
Strang, Harold R.; Loper, Ann Booker – Educational Technology, 1983
Describes the hardware and software, typical application, future use, and initial results of an evaluation of a program which enables future teachers to practice their teaching skills on microcomputer-simulated students. These "students" are programed with such characteristics as enthusiasm and prior knowledge and are able to interact.…

Training Classroom Management Skills via a Microcomputer-Based Simulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Strang, Harold R.; And Others – Teacher Education and Special Education, 1986
Studies at the Curry School of Education (University of Virginia) have demonstrated that microcomputer-based simulations of classroom interactions increase participants' use of appropriate instructional techniques with computer-generated pupils. Performance feedback from the system resulted in significant decreases in inappropriate management…

The Use of Computer-Generated Speech in Training Basic Teaching Skills.
Strang, Harold R.; And Others – Educational Technology, 1988
Description of microcomputer-based simulations used to help teachers-in-training acquire basic teaching and classroom intervention skills highlights the Speech Synthesizing Simulation, which is designed to train speech language clinicians. Computer-generated verbal exchanges between a teacher and a class of computer-defined pupils during a…

A Microcomputer-Based Simulation of Classroom Interaction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Strang, Harold R.; Loper, Ann Booker – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1984
Describes a microcomputer-based simulation developed to provide elementary teachers-in-training with experiences in realistic instructional interactions with computer-defined students prior to actual classroom encounters. The system's hardware and functional operation are discussed; components of the program's interactional cycles are described;…

A Self-Administered Simulation for Training Basic Classroom Skills.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Strang, Harold R.; And Others – Computers in the Schools, 1991
Describes a self-administered microcomputer-based simulation that allows teacher educators to create customized simulated classroom experiences for their students. Lesson performance measures are discussed, postlesson feedback variables are described, self-perception measures are explained, and results of a posttraining evaluation of the…

Exploring Teaching Techniques via a Microcomputer Simulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Strang, Harold R.; Moore, Sara D. – Journal of Information Technology for Teacher Education, 1994
Describes a study that defined the principal techniques preservice teachers applied when completing specific microcomputer simulations. Analysis of simulation performance scores yielded three performance factors addressing techniques that defined teachers' misbehavior intervention, instructional delivery, and activity sequencing. Regression…
