This investigation was designed to determine the effects of a perceptual modeling concept on the verbal behaviors of student teachers in their student teaching experience. The major objectives were 1) to determine the effects on verbal behavior of a videotape versus a verbal presentation of an interaction analysis system, and 2) to identify those…

Statistical analysis of the videotape recorder as a feedback device used to train teacher interns produced four conclusions: that videotape feedback to teacher interns did not produce behavioral changes significantly different from those teacher interns who did not receive feedback; that the addition of inputs such as critique and type scripts did…

The four classes of learning experience found in an instructional system are defined as 1) orienting experiences, which provide a set of referents essential to meaningful study, and which may take the form of direct observation of children or teachers in classrooms, observation of filmed models, etc., and which may be used at any level; 2)…

This study was concerned with formulating a conceptual scheme related to variables in practice teaching, with devising instruments to define and measure these variables, and with testing the conceptual scheme and instrument(s) with practice teachers. Nine variables related were recognized as relevant and reported in the study. A Verbal Behavior Q…
