Objectives of this articles are to present the findings of video recorded communication between teacher candidates and peers during simulated micro-teaching. The micro-teaching activity in its entirety combines conventional face-to-face interaction, video micro-teaching, peer and instructor feedback, alongside self-reflection to undergird the…

This study provides interaction analyses collected by 16 interns, who in groups of four, team-planned and individually taught four public school classes. Together with interaction analyses of a study from the previous semester involving similar micro-unit instruction at the campus laboratory school, these data provide interesting comparisons.…

In a microsupervision workshop experiment designed to investigate group differences in acquiring an indirect style of supervisory conference behavior, 18 elementary school inservice teachers were randomly assigned to a video-modeling, written-modeling and performance-feedback treatment or non-treatment. Criterion performances were the frequency…

Reveals that (1) it is possible to develop a low per-student-cost computerized verbal category system, (2) teacher behavior was modified and student participation increased, and (3) curriculum investigations suggest that improvement is possible with more experienced coders. (Author)

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…

This paper describes a model that uses interaction analysis as a tool to provide feedback to a teacher in a microteaching situation. The author explains how interaction analysis can be used for teacher improvement, describes the category system used in the model, the data collection methods used, and the feedback techniques found in the model.

College Classroom Vignettes, a videotape technique used to motivate teachers to change classroom behavior, is discussed. This new application of videotape was undertaken at Northwestern University's Center for the Teaching Professions with funding from the Danforth Foundation. College Classroom Vignettes are videotape records of actual classroom…

A brief review of innovative approaches to the teaching of foreign languages during the 1960's is presented in this report. The potential use of media in current programs is emphasized in a discussion of: (1) creative application of technology in the solution of instructional problems, (2) television and related media, (3) observation via…

Discovery of which learner characteristics or aptitudes interact with different methods of instruction is the objective of this research study. A model is used to match the cognitive, motivational, value, and sensory orientations of the student with forms of presentation considered compatible with characteristics of the learner. Description of the…

The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) Media Project was developed to determine whether (1) the gap between the producer and the user of educational innovations could be bridged; (2) a meaningful way to present the results of educational research to the user could be designed; and (3) the integrated and functional use…
