This study is concerned with changes in teacher behavior brought about by training with the USU Protocol Modules. (Editor)

To test the effectiveness of the minicourse (an instructional microteaching package) in changing specific teacher behaviors, 20-minute pre- and postminicourse video-taped recordings of each of the 48 participating teachers' classroom lessons were made and were scored by trained raters. Further, to insure rater objectivity, delayed postcourse video…

Elementary school teachers trained in a class management program changed behaviors and improved student performance in both handicapped and nonhandicapped pupils in mainstreamed classrooms. (JD)

This Instructor Guide is designed to acquaint the teacher educator with the Utah State University Protocol Project training materials. It deals with the protocol materials generally and with each module specifically, including the following: (a) an introduction to, and rationale for protocol modules; (b) ways of identifying specific kinds of…

Research performed pursuant to a contract with the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Office of Education.

The Utah State University Protocol Project developed six self instructional modules, each concerned with an important concept related to teacher language. Each module contains a student handbook consisting of definitions and recognition and application practices based upon printed classroom transcripts and an 8-ten minute protocol film. The…

Assessed the effectiveness of the Utah State University Self Concept Protocol in changing teacher behaviors related to self-concept in 715 handicapped students mainstreamed in intermediate grade classrooms. Results showed more favorable postobservation scores for teachers in the experimental group and improved self-concept for their students. (LLL)

An overview of the development of protocol materials, with specific examples from the Utah State University Protocol Project, which concentrates on concepts of teacher language. (Author/HB)

This research was aimed at adapting the Utah State University Classroom Management Program for use in elementary mainstreaming classrooms and evaluating the program's effectiveness in changing teacher and pupil behavior. The program appears to be powerful in changing teacher behavior and an effective classroom management training tool. (Author/AL)

The purpose of this research was to determine whether the Utah State University (USU) Protocol Modules dealing with classroom management and pupil self-concept would bring about significant changes in the performance of in-service elementary school teachers and the pupils in their classrooms.

Teachers trained with the revised Utah State University Self-Concept Protocol Program showed significant increases on six of twelve program-related behaviors. Although no gains in self-concept were made by handicapped children, there was evidence for differential effectiveness of the program for learning disabled and emotionally handicapped…

What little we know about relationships between specific classroom behavior of teachers and relevant pupil outcomes has been obtained almost entirely from coreelational studies. Yet if we are ever to apply knowledge in this area to teacher education, we must carry out experimental studies in which teachers are trained to emit specific behaviors…

Minicourse 1, a short microteaching program designed to change 12 specific classroom behaviors involved in conducting a discussion lesson, relies heavily on filmed illustrations by model teachers and provides feedback through carefully structured teacher self-evaluation of televised lesson replays. A study was designed (1) to estimate the degree…

Two studies related content coverage to pupil achievement. With ability and socioeconomic status controlled, a correlation of .40 was obtained between content and coverage and achievement. Significant correlations were also obtained between teacher coverage and achievement for two groups of teachers covering two units two months apart. (Author/RD)
