Based on the assumption that most science teachers are fairly comfortable and well informed in the cognitive area, the author concentrates on the presentation of man as an emotional and a feeling creature. An attempt is made to describe how perceptions, values, and feelings affect him and how he attempts to protect or reveal himself. In relation…

One hundred and five teacher trainees participated in different types of student teaching. The Teacher Perception Q Sort was used to evaluate changes in perception. Five factors were measured: a) self revealing/self concealing, b) learner/teacher centeredness, c) broad/narrow view of teaching, d) process/facts oriented, e) freeing/controlling…

In an effort to develop behavioral objectives for students of Phoenix Indian High School, project staff attempted to identify student behavioral outcomes which would serve as guidelines for total school program development, with emphasis on pupil personnel services. Preparation of such guidelines involves not so much formulation of specific…

A self-assessment inventory of teaching competencies was devised for use by student teachers. The instrument was administered to 15 seniors prior to a methods course and student teaching and again after student teaching. Factor analysis of the pre- and posttest scores revealed five dimensions accounting for 77 and 68 percent of the variance,…

Giving sixth-grade teachers information as to how their pupils described their actual and their ideal teacher on 12 items of teacher behavior significantly changed in the direction of the pupils' initial ratings of their ideal teacher, and also made the teachers more accurate in predicting their pupils' descriptions of the teacher. Subjects of the…

This paper focuses on using a systems approach to develop supervisory conference strategies to be tested in constructed and controlled teaching-supervisory situations. This involves identifying performance objectives through a functional analysis of teaching and analyzing the interacting and interdependent variables. It is then necessary to…

This investigation was designed to determine the effects of a perceptual modeling concept on the verbal behaviors of student teachers in their student teaching experience. The major objectives were 1) to determine the effects on verbal behavior of a videotape versus a verbal presentation of an interaction analysis system, and 2) to identify those…

An ongoing behavioral model for implementing staff development and evaluation procedures is proposed, which systematically focuses on assessing and facilitating behavioral change in the classroom and enables the educational executive to assess what is actually happening there.

General systems for analyzing instructional interaction have found the most common teacher behavior to be asking questions. This evaluation compares and contrasts two systems for analyzing teacher questions: Price-Belland, developed by the authors from the Bloom-Saunders tradition, and Hough-Duncan, modified for detailed question analysis.…

An initial effort is made to investigate social aspects of the classroom within a mathematical framework called general system theory. The objective of the study is to set the stage for a theory of social behavior in the large which, when verified, may be employed to guide computer simulations of detailed social situations. A model of a…

Psychotherapeutic systems derived from psychoanalytic-learning and from client-centered models both predict that subjects' openness to environmental feedback will increase in the course of therapy. It was hypothesized that counseled teachers would become more open to feedback from pupils than control teachers, specifically that counseled teachers…

This study investigated the effects of shared values and expectations on the behavior of 290 faculty members representing 34 departments at a large graduate oriented university.

This guide suggests administrative techniques for adopting the Video Inservice Program (VIP) in a local school system and some human relation techniques in assisting teacher self-appraisal. Successful implementation of the VIP depends on the selection and training of a competent Staff Development Counselor. After training, the Staff Development…

This bulletin presents two papers that focus on the concept of change, modification, and improvement in teaching performance. The first paper suggests some changed roles for supervisory agents in teacher education. The notion that college supervisors have a more fruitful role to play than the traditional observation practices that have been…
