This study investigates the effectiveness of an elective course titled, "Microteaching in Teacher Education" (MiTEc) which is offered to the 3rd and 4th year pre-service science teachers. This course aims to provide pre-service teachers with meaningful experiences and prepare them for real-classroom settings. During the study,…

Minicourse 1, an auto-instructional package based on the microteaching-video tape recorder process, instructs the teacher in specific teaching skills and directs him in self-evaluation of his own teaching. Field tests in Minicourse (MC) 1 (questioning skill at the elementary school level) indicated behaviorally significant changes in teachers and…

The effectiveness of a minicourse designed to improve the questioning skills of student teachers in grades 4-6 was investigated. Microteaching experience and supervisory feedback on student teaching behavior were provided for the experimental group, who made more significant gains in effective teaching behavior than the control group.

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…

A project was undertaken at the University of Texas at Austin to underwrite expenses incurred with the planning and implementation of a curriculum for developing teaching skills among students interested in teaching science and engineering. In this project report information is provided on the following: course goals and activities, course…
