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)

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

A variation on microteaching, the use of videotaped feedback during training, is suggested as an efficient and effective way for improving teachers' communication ability with hearing impaired students. Manually encoding English within a system of simultaneous communication has improved the climate for communication in classrooms for…
