MICROTEACHING WAS USED IN A SERIES FOR THE IN-SERVICE TRAINING OF SUPERVISORS. TEACHERS AND SUPERVISORS WERE GIVEN ONLY A CURSORY AMOUNT OF TRAINING AND INITIAL APPLICATION, YET SUPERVISORS WERE ABLE TO NOTICE DIFFERENCES IN TEACHING BEHAVIOR. THE TRAINING SEMINARS DEMONSTRATED THAT MICROTEACHING CAN BE OF REAL VALUE TO EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL.…

This handbook for teachers is designed for use as a short, self-contained program to help teachers add effective tutoring to their overall teaching program. The format of the course consists of four steps: (1) reading about new teaching skills; (2) seeing these skills demonstrated in films of actual teaching sessions; (3) practicing the skills…

This module is designed to help the learner develop a present process of delivery for a learning activity developed by the Florida Parent Education model. The module begins with a prospectus that explains the purpose of the Florida Parent Education Model and the reason for creating this module. Four enabling objectives are included, each of which…

Previous research on the use of interaction process analysis and microteaching in teacher education indicates that these two methods of achieving specified behavioral changes in the teaching behavior of student teachers are at least as effective, if not more so, than traditional methods. Attention now turns to the different ways that interaction…

A survey of 442 colleges and universities accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education was made to determine how many used microteaching as a training technique in their secondary teacher education programs. One hundred seventy-six indicated that they used microteaching, and 141 of these answered a comprehensive…

In response to the often-expressed need of preservice teachers for actual teaching experience, a study was conducted to assess the effect of a one-time 15-minute teaching experience on teacher trainees. It was hypothesized that this experience would help them become more concerned with their pupils than with themselves and become more aware of the…

Earlier research has demonstrated that verbal teaching behaviors can be modified through the Teaching Laboratory (TL), which consists of peer group microteaching experiences. This study investigated whether or not these behaviors would persist into later student teaching. Each of 50 secondary student teachers, who were divided into control and…

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…

A study examined the comparative effects on microteaching performance of (1) eight different methods of teacher training and (2) the interaction of method with student characteristics. Subjects, 71 enrollees in an educational psychology course, were randomly assigned to eight treatment groups (including one control group). Treatments consisted of…

This study provides interaction analyses collected by 16 interns, who in groups of four, team-planned and individually taught four public school classes. Together with interaction analyses of a study from the previous semester involving similar micro-unit instruction at the campus laboratory school, these data provide interesting comparisons.…

A major drawback in microteaching by preservice teachers is the limited availability of university supervisors to supply feedback regarding the microteaching performances. This researcher investigated the effectiveness of feedback supplied by the preservice teachers themselves. Thirty preservice teachers participated in the study. Each microtaught…

This experiment was conducted to determine whether preservice teachers taking a combination of Minicourses and student teaching (the experimental group) would develop greater teaching skills than teachers taking only student teaching (the control group). Pre- and post-video tapes of their teaching performances were scored and compared using…

This report contains the following papers presented at the conference: 1) "Evaluating the Needs of Teacher Education in Southeast Asia"; 2) "Studies in Microteaching: A Pedagogical Model"; 3) "Teacher Training in Indonesia as a National Problem"; 4) "Secondary School Teacher Education in Indonesia"; 5)…

The value of four pre-training screening devices for predicting student teaching effectiveness was examined. The four activities were a) microteaching for 7 minutes, b) microteaching for 30 minutes, c) role playing using reality therapy, and d) values conflict discussion. These activities were administered to 52 undergraduates in the Brigham Young…
