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…

Social learning theory is the theory that is applied through microteaching. The two critical sets of social learning variables mediated through microteaching are those associated with modeling and feedback. Microteaching is also a way of bringing specific teaching responses under experimental and behavioral control. Thus in each microteaching…

The advantages of using a videotape recorder in university level education methods courses are outlined. (DE)

A discription is given of how the "miniteaching" format of instruction in teacher education improves and extends the microteaching concept. (JD)

Suggests that close-minded individuals are more likely to experience a positive change in nonverbal perceptiveness when they are involved in peer microteaching with public feedback. (RL)

Review of empirical research evaluating use of video technology in teacher training situations focuses on the demonstration and feedback phases of microteaching, discrimination training, and videotape feedback for teachers in actual school classrooms. The value of video technology in clinical and peer teacher supervision and naturalistic…

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)

Instructors at Cleveland State University have designed an activity that moves prospective supervisor teachers through the steps of a particular model simulation to develop needed skills. (SK)
