This summative evaluation of Teacher Corps' training programs assesses the overall effectiveness of the training in terms of changes in intern teaching behavior. Five behaviors changed in frequency significantly and support is provided for the use of modeling, feedback, practice and reinforcement to influence teacher behavior. (BT)

Describes a study that was designed to determine effects of microteaching on the attitudes of inservice elementary teachers toward teaching science as a process. Immediate microteaching experience rather than curricular activities was determined to have a positive effect on attitude toward teaching process skills. (CS)

A pretest-posttest control group design was used with 20 second- and third-grade teachers to answer questions related to the effectiveness of microteaching as a teacher training procedure. The group was divided into two experimental groups by random assignment. One group of 10 received microteaching training in a specific teaching skill. The other…

The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect that four alternate types of instruction had on the frequency with which high inquiry questions were asked by preservice secondary science teachers.
