This research aims to examine the effect of applying art-based learning model to the learning outcomes of effective teaching behavior of students in microteaching classes. The research design used a quasi-experimental design of non-equivalent control group design. Participants were students' microteaching classes in the Department of Islamic…

What is considered effective teaching varies across cultures, institutions, and disciplines. Concepts of effective teaching reflect the values and expectations of the educational culture and language in which it occurs. This study examines how participation in a course on intercultural communication affects the observable teaching behaviors of…

A study attempted to improve the results of correlating personality characteristics with teaching behavior within the setting of a microteaching laboratory. Self-theory constructs were used to predict teaching behavior. Subjects (80 education students) were administered the Self-Report Inventory (SRI) and the Adjective Rating Scale for Self…

This module is designed to help the learner develop a present process of delivery for a learning activity developed by the Florida Parent Education model. The module begins with a prospectus that explains the purpose of the Florida Parent Education Model and the reason for creating this module. Four enabling objectives are included, each of which…

The Federally Assisted Staff Training project is designed for teachers in the inner-city schools. Over 15,000 teachers and other staff members of the Detroit public school system have participated in this in-service program since April 1966. The program covers eight phases: in-service consultant-leadership training, teacher behavior improvement…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of microteaching in developing the actual classroom use of twelve questionning skills when used immediately prior to a student teaching experience. (Author)

Competency-based teacher education (CBTE) cannot be defended unless a systematic large-scale research effort is directed to discovering the linkage between patterns of teacher behavior and student change. A more immediate need, however, is the development of techniques that (a) permit assessment of skills trainees possess, and (b) provide training…

A review of recent research on teacher education yields seven strategies characteristic of effective teachers. (MJB)

A model staff development program is presently being implemented at Memphis State University in which systematic observation and videotape feedback is used to provide teaching faculty with the opportunity to analyze and improve their classroom behaviors. (MM)

To determine whether preservice teachers would demonstrate a significant change in level of teacher enthusiasm after participating in a training intervention on teacher enthusiasm, and whether these same preservice teachers could maintain the increased level of teacher enthusiasm three weeks after termination of training, twenty preservice…

Student teachers given five weeks of microteaching, observation training, or no preparation, taught mathematics to male high school students in urban, suburban, or rural Nigeria. Those teachers who had microteaching experience demonstrated greater frequency of target teaching skills, while a combination of variables contributed to student…

A general introduction to the concept of microteaching and its development is presented, and the generally accepted format and the skills practiced for microteaching are described. Aspects of microteaching commonly perceived as favorable and unfavorable are addressed, and a review of current research is provided and followed by a discussion of the…

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…

The purpose of this study was to determine whether preservice teachers can be trained to be more clear during instruction and whether a causal relationship exists between teacher clarity and student achievement. A review of literature in teacher education, business, and industrial training revealed that no intact, empirically verified training…
