This scoping review investigates the potential of bite-sized learning approach in music education. The review identified articles from Scopus and ERIC databases, revealing that bite-sized learning is widely discussed in the field of ICT, mathematics, and medicine. Bite-sized learning is pedagogical and pragmatic, providing easy access,…

Through a selective review of the literature, this article examines the theoretical origins and early use of microteaching and charts its development over the last nearly six decades in the field of teacher education. From its beginning in the 1960's as a method for pre-service teacher behavioural modification with new portable video technology,…

Introduction: Implementation of interprofessional education (IPE) is recognised as challenging, and well-designed programs can have differing levels of success depending on implementation quality. The aim of this review was to summarise the evidence for implementation of IPE, and identify challenges and key lessons to guide faculty in IPE…

Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) has been introduced as a conceptual framework for the knowledge domains teachers need to master to teach successfully using technology, and has drawn much attention across the educational field. Yet, the framework has been criticized for not being practically useful, due to inaccurate and…

This study investigates the preservice teacher learning in the context of conversations about their field-based challenges. First, a review of the literature explores studies that highlight the role of evidence-based conversation as a mechanism to approach the inevitable problems faced by teachers in the classroom. The subsequent case study…

The authors argue that microteaching (a technique for training teachers whereby the central communication skills involved in teaching are identified, defined, and taught) should be used more extensively in special education. (SBH)

Microteaching has developed since its inception at Stanford University in 1963. Basically it consists of a simplification of the teaching situation and the provision of feedback. The model, first applied to foreign language (FL) teaching by Robert Politzer, involves a definition of skills relevant to FL teaching and the preparation of performance…

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the potential of a microteaching evaluation form for assessing microteaching performances. The microteaching evaluation form was developed by adopting suggestions from the teacher education literature on microteaching. Data consisted of participants' and course instructor's evaluations of microteaching…

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…

This review of research literature about training in the skills of teaching indicates that change in skills can be brought about through different training methods, with different training populations, and in different training settings. This analysis of the literature was designed to assess the comparative contribution of a set of selected…

Three historical phases of research and development on microteaching and the technical skills of teaching are reviewed. Suggestions for specific research topics are discussed, including research on the role of supervisor and on the development of learner skills. (Author/JN)

Research activities pertinent to preservice teacher training program design are reviewed. The focus is on studies in which the dependent variables were the developing teaching styles of teacher candidates, or where there were measures of skill development as a product of program components. (IAH)

Most teacher preparation classes are designed around the microteaching concept and focus on the "three T's": the teaching, talking, and terminating cycle. For an improvement in teaching skills, it is important for more than one teach/reteach cycle to be used. (JN)

While most counselor training programs highlight basic counseling skills, few programs address the development of counselors' conceptual abilities. This study explores the changes in conceptualizations of counseling and the corresponding changes in the counseling skills of prepracticum counseling trainees. Six graduate students in a counselor…

This article selectively reviews cognitive research on computer programing and suggests how it could be used to open new avenues of research in the fields of teacher education and instructional supervision. (Author/IAH)
