This study demonstrates how the use of microteaching techniques allows for the collection of a wealth of comparable data about supervisory behavior in a relatively short time and under well-controlled conditions. This technique, combined with qualitative analysis of the data, investigated the individual's dominant and persuasive patterns of…

Describes a laboratory technique in which the complexities of normal classroom teaching are simplified. Lessons are reduced to five or fifteen minutes and are used for the practice of one particular teaching skill. Appended are 14 references. (AA)

Its use in teacher education programs. (SP)

This paper reflects on a decade of research, development and practice in the area of microteaching in teacher education. (Author)

This paper deals with the use of microteaching techniques to train student teachers in stimulating learners' questions. Research was carried out at the Gordon Teachers Training College, Haifa, Israel. A rating scale, including teaching patterns stimulating learners' questions, was prepared from the existing literature and the analysis of pilot…

Describes an exploratory study, its findings still tentative, using portable videotape recorders and micro-teaching techniques to motivate university professors to engage in activities to improve instruction, despite the nonrewarding atmosphere. (IR)

One hundred and forty-eight student teachers from Israel Institute of Technology were subjects of an experiment investigating effectiveness of microteaching alone as compared with a category observation system as a training method, and interaction between the two when combined. Thirty-two subjects were assigned at random to each of the four cells…

The problem of improving university teaching is reviewed and is seen as part of the process of re-education and change. A teaching laboratory is proposed including provision for feedback mechanism, self-confrontation processes, simulation, and microteaching. Case studies of the use of microteaching and video recording are reported. (Editor/JT)

A two-part pilot study was conducted to examine the feasibility aspects and problems encountered in the experimentation and adaptation of the portable video recorder and micro-teaching techniques. The effective adoption of these innovations to vocational-technical teacher education programs requires systematic research and experimentation. Study…

A quarter of a century after the inception of the microteaching concept and in view of the new emphasis given to teaching learning laboratories, this paper discusses the development of the microteaching concept and its present state of art. Special attention is given to the theoretical conceptualization of microteaching and the teaching learning…

Video recordings provide an authentic feedback of classroom interaction, and microteaching a systematic method for analysis of these tapes and the acquisition of special teaching skills. Their combined use in teacher education has resulted in improved teacher-classroom interaction at the college level. The development of individual and group…

The two papers in this report are: (1) "The Use of Portable Video Tape Recorders and Micro-Teaching Techniques to Improve Inservice Training in Area Vocational Schools and in the Vocational-Technical Programs of Junior Colleges," and (2) "The Use of Portable Video Tape Recorders and Micro-Teaching Techniques to Improve Supervision…
