ONE HUNDRED FORTY STUDENTS IN SIX METHODS COURSES EACH TEACH A SELF-CONTAINED 4- TO 6-MINUTE LESSON ON A SINGLE, SPECIFIC CONCEPT TO A "CLASS" OF THREE TO FIVE LOCAL STUDENTS AT THE…

An initial study with 30 students in clinical speech pathology training found videotape confrontation to be a powerful clinical training technique. This subsequent study, using 20 additional students, was designed to compare the effectiveness of audiotape and videotape, and to ascertain whether videotape self-confrontation (single and double…

The problem of improving university teaching is reviewed and is seen as part of the process of re-education and change. A teaching laboratory is proposed including provision for feedback mechanism, self-confrontation processes, simulation, and microteaching. Case studies of the use of microteaching and video recording are reported. (Editor/JT)
