A bibliography complementary to one on microteaching by McAleese and Unwin which previously appeared in Programmed Learning & Educational Technology (v10 n1 p40-54 1973). (Author/HB)

Microteaching is a successful analytical tool because of its precision and simplicity, its low pressure approach, and the fact that it encourages experimentation. In addition, the technique is easily mediated, replicated, and controlled. (Author/JD)

Research in microteaching at the Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development resulted in a self-contained instructional package labeled the minicourse. Designed to train the teacher in a microteaching situation with self-evaluation only (providing the feedback normally assigned to a supervisor through evaluation forms), the…

Experiments with internal television (ITV) at the Stockholm School of Education are reviewed in this newsletter. The purposes of the experiments have been (1) to study the effects of ITV illustrations of theoretical instruction in education and methodology, (2) to investigate the possibilities of conveying information in teacher training via ITV,…

This two part Saskatchewan NewStart school aide curriculum guide outlines program content and procedures for trainees and for their instructors. Stressing the responsibility of trainees for much of the content impact, the first volume provides questions, training outlines, and other resources (including guidelines on microteaching) to equip…

Six members of a Principles and Practices of Secondary Teaching class assumed the role of teacher in the microteaching situation, and graduate students enrolled in a Principles of Educational Supervision course performed…

This project attempted to design an experimental model for a teacher education program in the College of Education of the University of Alabama. The model attempted to identify students' concerns and problems and to test a novel approach for personalizing their programs through the inclusion of microteaching. Three distinct stages were included.…

This study was to determine if training in teaching strategies would result in use of a wider variety of teaching strategies. In the first training method used, a videotaped model of the strategies was shown to the trainees, and its elements analyzed and discussed. The trainees attempted to reproduce the strategy in microteaching situations. In…

This study evaluated the effects of a sequence of microteaching tasks on the teaching behavior of secondary education students. Audio tape recorded lessons of two groups of students were compared. One group of 27 taught ten lessons in a teaching laboratory using a sequence of instructional and learning tasks. A control group of 27 taught two…

A discussion of the use of media to study behavior, the application that is used by microteaching. (HB)

The relationships between the microteaching technique and experiential group meetings of student teachers are discussed. The author concludes that the linking of the two techniques might well prove of great value in the education of teachers. The journal is available from the Circulation Office, 325 9th St., San Francisco, California, 94103.…

Reactions to a self instructional microteaching course were investigated in a sample of 28 experienced teachers. (JY)
