Peer reviewedHadfield, Oakley D.; Littleton, Charles E.; Steiner, Robert L.; Woods, Emily S. – Journal of Instructional Psychology, 1998
Preservice elementary teachers were videotaped teaching three self-designed micro-teaching lessons to their peers, and the videotapes were rated by elementary mathematics-methods instructors. Mathematics methods course quiz average, mathematics anxiety score, and spatial ability were investigated as potential predictors of videotape ratings.…
