This paper reflects on a decade of research, development and practice in the area of microteaching in teacher education. (Author)

This paper offers an introduction to microteaching and how it would be used in the Associate Instructor Teachers Skills Program (AITSP). The first section deals with the basic phases of microteaching: a) modeling, b) feedback, and c) practice. The second section explains the three approaches used in the AITSP teaching practicum: a) Stanford…

A three-day seminar for nurses was conducted to improve their ability to communicate effectively with other people. The method used in this seminar was microteaching. The basic ingredients of the microteaching concept are the communication techniques dimension, the teach-reteach dimension, and the immediate feedback dimension. Under the direction…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative effects of different modes of supervisory feedback on the development of beginning teacher candidates' refocusing behaviors. Thirty-nine secondary teacher candidates served as subjects. They were enrolled in two sections of the course taught by the same instructor and were assigned randomly…

To gauge the effect of different microteaching variables on the effectiveness of microteaching, three treatment conditions were set up. In the oral group, oral evaluation by the supervisor was not available to the subjects (student teachers). In the video group, video recording or playback was not available. In the peer group, ninth-grade…

The development and use of microteaching are discussed briefly. Research on modeling, practice, and feedback is reviewed; and studies of the overall outcomes of microteaching and conceptual models underlying microteaching are discussed. Few conclusions can be drawn about the effectiveness of microteaching. (TJH)

Social learning theory is the theory that is applied through microteaching. The two critical sets of social learning variables mediated through microteaching are those associated with modeling and feedback. Microteaching is also a way of bringing specific teaching responses under experimental and behavioral control. Thus in each microteaching…

Describes a procedure used in in-service training in Turkey which encourages feedback discussion that does not make individual teachers feel threatened. Contentrating on areas of teaching rather than individual performance, individual "micro-tasks" were initially discussed in small groups, followed by the teachers' comments on the…

Reviews research related to science teacher education which suggests that specific verbal and non-verbal instructional skills can be developed by providing positive models of desired behavior, varying the amount of practice teaching during the training, providing specific feedback on limited behaviors, and modifying training according to trainee…

Microteaching Lesson Study [MLS] is a cooperative learning experience that we felt could challenge our prospective teachers thinking about teaching and support their connection of theory and practice during an initial course on learning to teach mathematics. We studied seventy-four prospective teachers' perspectives on MLS over four sections of…

One hundred and forty-eight student teachers from Israel Institute of Technology were subjects of an experiment investigating effectiveness of microteaching alone as compared with a category observation system as a training method, and interaction between the two when combined. Thirty-two subjects were assigned at random to each of the four cells…

This is the sixth study in a project designed to find more effective and efficient ways of using micro-teaching and video recording in programs of vocational teacher education. In this field test of the feasibility and potential applicability of four related feedback and analysis techniques used in an inservice teacher education program for…

The Social Science Observation Record is a systematic observation system. When used to provide feedback to preservice social studies teachers participating in a teach-reteach microteaching sequence, subjects obtained a significant increase in value-oriented student behavior. When used to analyze printed transcripts of mathematics teachers,…
