The purpose of this research experiment was to investigate the effectiveness of one type of simulation (consisting of a series of anxiety-inducing motion picture vignettes, split-screen video tape recording, and a trained recall worker) in reducing anxiety and thereby increasing the subsequent classroom interaction of student teachers. A secondary…

This document reviews research and writings of the 1960s that deal with variables operating within the student teacher/cooperating teacher relationship and affecting the outcome of that relationship for the student teacher. Various methods of matching student teacher and cooperating teacher, cognitive dissonance interpretation, and use of…

Student teachers of home economics were taught Interaction Analysis and then their verbal behavior was observed in a teaching situation. Comparisons were made between the teacher-student verbal interaction in classes taught by the experimental and by the control group. The technique was found useful in helping student teachers objectively view…

THIS PAPER REVIEWS RECENT MAJOR STUDIES CONCERNED WITH CLASSROOM INTERACTION WHICH ENCOMPASSES BOTH THE VERBAL AND NONVERBAL BEHAVIOR OF A TEACHER AND THE PUPILS IN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY CLASSROOMS. REVIEW OF THE THEORIES UPON WHICH THESE STUDIES WERE BASED WAS NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS STUDY. PART 1 BRIEFLY DISCUSSES TWO APPROACHES TO THE…

This investigation sought to determine the effects of a perceptual modeling concept, presented during the preservice experience, on the verbal behaviors of student teachers in their student teaching experience. Fifty-two preservice teachers were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group received instruction…

Analysis of verbal interaction between student business teachers and their students provides basis for improving instruction. (MF)

The Rankin Interaction Analysis System, a system of recording behavioral events as they occur between teacher and students is described. Its purpose is to provide a method for teachers and supervisors to evaluate verbal and nonverbal behavior of student teachers in physical education. (Author/MJB)

Pre-service teachers (N=113) responded to a semantic differential to assess attitudes toward five concepts. Significant differences were found in the responses to the five concepts, with students being negative in their attitudes toward perceptions by professors. Implications for student/teacher relations were explored. (Author)

Reported is a study to determine changes in classroom verbal behaviors of 23 student teachers in secondary science and the relationship of the behaviors of their respective cooperating teachers to these changes. The investigator attempted to identify the relationship between perception of the student teacher by the science students and the…

TO TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT THE VERBAL BEHAVIOR OF STUDENT TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOM DOES NOT CHANGE IN RELATION TO THE VERBAL BEHAVIOR OF THEIR COOPERATING TEACHER, A VERBAL-BEHAVIORAL MEASUREMENT OF 12 STUDENT TEACHERS AND 6 COOPERATING TEACHERS WAS UNDERTAKEN USING THE OBSERVATION SCHEDULE AND RECORD FORM 3D. ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE REVEALED THAT…

FOUR GROUPS OF 15 STUDENT TEACHERS EACH WERE USED TO TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT (A) THOSE TAUGHT INTERACTION ANALYSIS WOULD BE MORE INDIRECT (ACCEPTING OF PUPIL FEELINGS AND IDEAS, ENCOURAGING, QUESTIONING) AT THE END OF STUDENT TEACHING THAN THOSE TAUGHT LEARNING THEORY, AND (B) AMONG THOSE TAUGHT INTERACTION ANALYSIS, THOSE SUPERVISED BY…

This paper summarizes results of an ecological analysis designed to generate hypotheses concerning processes involved in learning to meet the demands of the classroom environment. Ethnographic data on student teachers indicates that classrooms are characterized by multidimensionality, simultaneity, and unpredictability. Teachers, in turn,…

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of interaction analysis feedback on the verbal behavior of student teachers. Forty randomly selected senior elementary education students at the University of South Florida were trained in interaction analysis, and each was observed for eight weekly 15-minute periods during student teaching. Data,…
