The provision of feedback to students is an important aspect of teaching and learning processes. It is often a necessary requirement for the stimulation of self-reflection. This paper describes the use of video-enabled, web-based computer-mediated communication (CMC) for the provision of feedback to pre-service, trainee teachers who were involved…

The purpose of this study was to compare the teaching of preservice teachers in both a controlled and a natural setting prior to student teaching. Data were collected on single lessons of each subject (n=14) who taught in a peer teaching microlesson and a lesson within units taught at a local high school. Subject matter was controlled so that each…

A study involving 20 British teachers assessed the use of micro-teaching techniques in the training of oral assessors (raters) of students. The study was designed to: measure the efficacy of a training program versus that of a sensitization program, examine methodologies associated with micro-teaching as applied to specific in-service teacher…

This handbook, developed for use in a microteaching laboratory, presents information on: (l) the history of microteaching; (2) research supporting microteaching; (3) advantages of microteaching; (4) teaching skill clusters (response repertoire, questioning skills, creating student involvement, increasing student participation, presentation…

Intended as a guide for planning and conducting a ten-day microsupervision workshop, this paper describes the various components of such a workshop as it is conducted at Temple University for training resource persons--experienced teachers who help new teachers in competency based teacher education (CBTE) programs.

THE STANFORD SCHOOL OF EDUCATION HAS BEEN USING PORTABLE VIDEO TAPE RECORDING SYSTEMS FOR A VARIETY OF NEW INSTRUCTIONAL AND RESEARCH PURPOSES. DURING PRESERVICE TRAINING, TEACHER-INTERNS USE SPECIFIC SKILLS TO GIVE SHORT LESSONS WHICH ARE VIDEOTAPED AND REVIEWED IMMEDIATELY WITH A SUPERVISOR. TEACHER-INTERNS ARE LATER VIDEOTAPED UNOBTRUSIVELY IN…

One hundred and forty secondary teacher candidates who were enrolled in a first course in teaching were the subjects of a seven-week study to determine the effects of microteaching in a Teaching Laboratory (TL) on verbal behaviors. All students taught a 10-minute pretest prior to the start of the study and then were divided into two groups. Group…

The imaginative use of a videotape system can help students understand themselves and communicate with each other. Videotape permits the student to be both performer and part of the audience, either simultaneously through a tape monitor or sequentially through instant playback. Seeing himself objectively can improve the student's self-confidence.…

This study compared the relative effectiveness of two communication-skills training models: Ivey's Microcounseling Paradigm and Carkhuff's Systematic Human Relations Training Model.

This study was designed to assess the effects of three treatment levels involving micro-teaching with video-tape playback and strategy analyses on the teaching strategies selected by secondary science teaching methods students. Three groups of ten students each were randomly assigned to three treatment levels. All subjects taught a pre-treatment…
