Training teachers to manage their instruction and the class is known to be important and challenging. In traditional teacher training programmes, micro-teaching is frequently adopted; however, its effectiveness could be limited if the learners do not have good opportunities to immerse themselves in and interact in the learning contexts. Virtual…

One of the primary concerns of pre-service secondary teachers is negotiating student behavior and classroom management, and novice teachers cite this as one of the reasons why they leave the profession in the first three years. This study examines the learning outcomes of a microteaching project with a student behavior component. The participants…

This article evaluates whether providing coaching between practice sessions in teacher education courses leads to more rapid development of skills and changes in teachers' beliefs about student behavior, using mixed-reality simulations as a practice space and standardized assessment platform. We randomly assigned 105 prospective teachers to…

Although peer feedback is highly valued in the feedback process, the specific contribution of feedback providers in this process remains unclear. In this qualitative multiple-case study, the primary focus was to explore the contribution of feedback providers and the benefits they obtained through online peer micro-teaching practices. The study…

The purpose of this research was to analyze the effects of a teaching methodology on the question-asking behavior of elementary school children. A fifth grade social studies class was chosen as the site of this experiment. The teacher, aided by two interns, divided the class of 24 into three equal groups. The group controlled by the teacher was…

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) when applied to an instructional training system, can be used to upgrade industrial trainers on good classroom behavior. (Author)

A series of empirical investigations of the impact of teacher implementation of the set induction teaching method on student behavior is summarized and discussed. (LH)

The Social Science Observation Record (SSOR) is an interaction analysis-systematic observation scheme enabling users to engage in interaction analysis as a descriptive record. Pilot studies suggest that the knowledge of the system enables pre-service social studies teachers (using microteaching simulation) to modify their own behavior in…

Undergraduate students developed a videotape to provide novice teachers with observation and practice in handling classroom discipline problems. Videotape content came from students' own classroom experience and provided solutions to problems using students' own observations of successful classroom management. The videotape proved to be a useful…

THE IMPLICATIONS FOR TRAINING READING TEACHERS OF CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN TEACHER EDUCATION RELEVANT TO READING INSTRUCTION, THE CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS, AND EVOLVING IDEAS ABOUT READING INSTRUCTION ARE EXAMINED. BRIEFLY DESCRIBED ARE MICRO TEACHING, VIDEO-TAPING, TIME-LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY, CLINICAL TEACHING…

A workshop was developed based on the work of Jacob Kounin, who identified many variables that are representative of teacher style and are strongly correlated with children's behavior in recitation settings. His work reviewed "desist" techniques employed by teachers to stop children's misbehaviors. The first step in developing the…

A Minicourse on Flanders' Interaction Analysis was adapted and re-developed for use in West German teacher training institutions, and evaluated in several studies with pre- and inservice teachers. The Minicourse incorporates the microteaching components of discrimination training, laboratory teaching experience, and feedback. The results of four…

Systematic and reliable feedback are critical elements of microteaching. One system whereby pre-service and in-service teachers may obtain systematic and reliable feedback during microteaching is called the Social Science Observation Record (SSOR). This monograph is intended to meet three purposes: (1) To explain the SSOR as a verbal system for…

The Social Science Observation Record (SSOR) is a systematic observation system designed to abstract and describe class discussion, specifically those discussions directed toward value clarification as an aspect of subject-matter instruction. The objective and yet diverse nature o category observation systems is described and an explanation is…

Many universities share the belief that the traditional four-year teacher education program provides insufficient time to prepare a professional, well-educated teacher, and are considering the adoption of an extended teacher education program. The program should focus on field experiences. (JN)
