A workshop was designed to sensitize participants to the nature of their own intervention in teaching evaluation. The following served as research questions: (a) Will a workshop in self-evaluation improve self-perception of teaching performance, the perception of an internal source of evaluation, and skill in self-evaluation of teaching…

Effects of conceptual level and degree of supervisory structure on training in reflection of feeling were investigated. Self-report measures supported predictions for low conceptual level participants; behavioral measures yielded minimal support. Supervised trainees improved minimally on quantitative dimensions and significantly on qualitative…

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…

This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of three feedback procedures by determining the relationship between the feedback procecures and the development of competence in establishing set by the teacher-trainees as indicated by the group mean gain scores on the "Hernandez-Klingstedt Establishing Set Rating Form." The feedback…

The provision of feedback to students is an important aspect of teaching and learning processes. It is often a necessary requirement for the stimulation of self-reflection. This paper describes the use of video-enabled, web-based computer-mediated communication (CMC) for the provision of feedback to pre-service, trainee teachers who were involved…

Preparing for simulated microteaching lessons is a traumatic experience at best. In trying to make the experience both more valuable and less generative of negative feelings, a peer critiqueing component was added to the evaluation process in this program. After teaching three simulations, the mean of the attitude toward microteaching and the…

Teacher education programs must provide experiences that promote learner growth and achievement. A study involving 28 physical education majors examined the use of microteaching as a means of affecting feedback behaviors of preservice teachers. Results are discussed. (DF)

This study collected data over three years from a project where preservice administrators provided feedback to preservice teachers on their microteaching while practicing their supervision skills. Results suggested that the project helped preservice teachers shift their perceptions of teaching and facilitated the transition into teaching. (SM)

Four experimental studies were conducted to assess the differences in effectiveness of self-confrontation via TV when used exclusively and in combination with group discussion, discrimination training (training in the use of interaction analysis), and practice in a scaled-down situation (peerteaching) on "the indirectness" of future secondary…

A Minicourse on Flanders' Interaction Analysis was adapted and re-developed for use in West German teacher training institutions, and evaluated in several studies with pre- and inservice teachers. The Minicourse incorporates the microteaching components of discrimination training, laboratory teaching experience, and feedback. The results of four…

This faculty project development had three main objectives: (1) to enable faculty to observe and evaluate their own behavior in the classroom; (2) to provide each faculty member with feedback from peers in a non-evaluative setting; and (3) to allow faculty to observe other teachers in action, to learn alternative teaching styles and to discuss…

The traditional model for student teaching is based on a one-to-one relationship between the student teacher and the supervising teacher. However, by providing interaction with only one individual, the possibility for varied practice and feedback is limited. A model is proposed in which five student teachers work with one supervising teacher. The…

The use of videotape is a critical element in minicourse and microteaching for teacher preparation, yet its role and function have not been systematically researched. Recent studies examining audience and videotape feedback to explain the effectiveness of minicourse and microteaching obtained inconsistent findings. It is suggested that the mostly…

This study investigated the impact of administrators' constructive comments to preservice teachers about their micro-teaching demonstration. The project used a research model that concentrated on cognitive changes rather than changes in behavior and that used images of growth rather than measurable changes. It attempted to facilitate reflection,…

Presented is the final report on the Special Education Microteaching Clinic at Southern Illinois University (Edwardsville) which incorporates a practice teaching technique in which a student teaches a lesson, is critiqued and shown a videotape, then reteaches the lesson. Section I, the overview, includes a presentation of the Microteaching…
