Shows how experimental approaches to adult education, such as microteaching, video-tape feedback, and simulation techniques, can be useful to educators and their students. Offers an instructional design model to be tested and modified to meet individual educational needs as a means of facilitating the use of these approaches. (DMM)

As part of the series of studies assessing micro-teaching and video recording in vocational and technical education, this study tested the feasibility of applying these techniques in the preparation of vocational teacher educators. Conducted as a simulated workshop for prospective teacher educators, the study involved 12 prospective teacher…

Presented in this report are the results of the feasibility testing of selected micro-teaching and video recording feedback techniques in a laboratory setting designed to simulate vocational teacher education. Volunteer teachers were selected and randomly assigned to three treatment groups in a repeated measurement design to compare the relative…

Three historical phases of research and development on microteaching and the technical skills of teaching are reviewed. Suggestions for specific research topics are discussed, including research on the role of supervisor and on the development of learner skills. (Author/JN)

This paper synthesizes research in videotape utilization within several disciplines--teacher education, counselor education, psychological therapy, business training, and speech education--with three objectives: to bring mass communication educators upto-date in the non-broadcast uses and techniques of videotape; to provide guidelines for…

An exploratory study investigated the effects of two organizational patterns of microsimulation experiences (concurrently with or sequentially to student teaching) on the verbal teaching behavior of student teachers trained in the Reciprocal Category System of Interaction Analysis (RCS) as compared to their counterparts who received no RCS…

"Video Processes Are Changing Teacher Education" by Howard Bosley (the first of five papers comprising this document) discusses the Multi-State Teacher Education Project (M-STEP) experimentation with media; it lists various uses of video processes, concentrating specifically on microteaching and the use of simulation and critical…

THIS IS A SERIES OF ARTICLES ON POSSIBLE AND ACTUAL USES OF VIDEO TAPE MATERIAL AND PROCESSES TO IMPROVE TEACHER EFFICIENCY, COMPETENCY, AND INSIGHT. EMPHASIZED ARE INDIVIDUALIZED AND SMALL GROUP USES OF TELEVISION, PLUS ITS POTENTIAL AS A RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTIC INSTRUMENT. THREE MAIN USES OF TELEVISION ARE DISCUSSED--AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR LIVE…

Materials collected in this book and in Volume I (SP 003 238) are related to the Multi-State Teacher Education Project (M-STEP). They deal with program experiments and resulting directions, including guide-line type materials resulting from the project effort and items prepared by other sources as project-centered aids. Part I, "A Forward…

A factorial design with 48 student teachers (40 were enrolled in the author's Social Studies Curriculum course at the University of California) was used to study the effect of a Social Studies curriculum course, self-confrontation on videotape, videotape-coding practice, and Guided Self-Analysis (GSA) upon the nature of teachers questions, teacher…

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…
