Author found that the verbal behavior of an experimental group was significantly more indirect than that of the control group, supporting the hypothesis that audio tapes are effective for observational learning of a specific teaching behavior. (Editor)

An audiotaped program teaching interviewing skills was developed incorporating a microteaching component approach. The study investigated the effectiveness of a programmed approach in the development of interview skills. (Author)

Describes an exploratory study, its findings still tentative, using portable videotape recorders and micro-teaching techniques to motivate university professors to engage in activities to improve instruction, despite the nonrewarding atmosphere. (IR)

Examines an experiment which compares the effects of two forms of laboratory teaching experience (reflective teaching and microteaching) on student teachers' views of themselves as teachers, attitudes toward teaching, perceptions of the role of teaching, attitudes toward the type of laboratory teaching experience engaged in, and teaching…

Self-report measures supported predictions for low conceptual level participants; behavioral measures yielded minimal support. Supervised trainees improved minimally on quantitative dimensions and significantly on qualitative…

Comments that a previously published educational research article did not include sufficient background information about previous research. (MLH)

Describes the planning and implementation of a program that uses microteaching to train part-time adult education tutors in Guernsey. (JOW)

Discusses microteaching, a training context in which a teacher's situation is reduced in scope or simplified in systematic ways.
