A TRANSCRIPTION WAS MADE OF A GROUP DISCUSSION CONDUCTED TO DEVELOP A SCALE FOR MAKING QUANTIFIED RATINGS OF THE INTERACTIONS OF STUDENT TEACHERS AND PUPILS AS OBSERVED FROM A FILM OF A 15-MINUTE LESSON PRESENTED BY THE STUDENT TEACHER. THE INTERACTIONS WERE TO BE JUDGED ON THE BASIS OF THE AMIDON-FLANDERS INTERACTION ANALYSIS SCALE, AND A NEW…

The purpose of this follow-up study was to determine whether changes in teacher high-level questioning behavior and classroom interaction patterns (rates of pupil and teacher talk) which resulted from the use of operant methodology in a microteaching setting were maintained during the student teaching experience a year later. Twenty University of…

A study compared instances of self-supervision with more traditional supervision of student teachers to determine the relationships between this variable and teacher attitudes and interaction behavior. Eighty-four secondary education student teachers were engaged in self-supervision, or were more traditionally supervised, or both. Self-supervising…

Microteaching (MT) has been used for teacher training in the United States for over ten years with varying amounts of success. This newsletter reviews two experiments in MT that were conducted in Sweden. The first experiment sought to determine whether MT was appropriate for teacher training. Using a factorial design study supplemented by…

Studies were made of teaching methods and student teaching experiences that made use of both video taped microteaching and computer assisted interaction analysis. Combining the computer and Flanders' Interaction Analysis can assist student teachers in vocational programs to improve their teaching performance, based upon immediate objective…

An experiment to determine the suitability of microteaching (MT) to teacher training in Sweden has been conducted since 1970. This newsletter reviews the three phases of that experiment and discusses some of the preliminary results. The experiment has only been evaluated by questionnaire. However, the results showed that: the pupils and classroom…
