An experiment was performed to compare the relative effectiveness of two microteaching procedures. In the low-cost treatment, student teachers received training in higher cognitive questioning skills by means of written modeling procedures (Subjects read transcripts of videotape model lessons) and audiotape feedback after each microteaching…

This is the sixth study in a project designed to find more effective and efficient ways of using micro-teaching and video recording in programs of vocational teacher education. In this field test of the feasibility and potential applicability of four related feedback and analysis techniques used in an inservice teacher education program for…

To extend previous research findings on the effectiveness of microteaching techniques, all 40 candidates in the 1967 San Jose State College summer elementary intern teaching program were randomly divided into 2 groups. Both groups had the same program except that 1 participated in an off-campus observation and teaching program; the other…

Presented in this report are the results of the feasibility testing of selected micro-teaching and video recording feedback techniques in a laboratory setting designed to simulate vocational teacher education. Volunteer teachers were selected and randomly assigned to three treatment groups in a repeated measurement design to compare the relative…

Three remote feedback techniques involving micro-teaching and video recording were tested to facilitate inservice teacher education to teachers in isolated circumstances. From a population of 57 beginning teachers of health occupations education, trade and industrial education, and technical education in Colorado, a sample of 39 teachers was…

As part of a series of studies assessing micro-teaching and video recording in vocational and technical education, this study was designed as a field test of those techniques in inservice vocational teacher education. The two techniques were tested at three sites in New York State and involved the collection of data in terms of teacher…

Fifty-nine inservice teachers in grades 1 through 12 took "Minicourse 20: Divergent Thinking," a course training teachers to use brainstorming to stimulate divergent thinking in students. Tapes of brainstorming sessions were made before, after, and seven weeks after the course ended. Experimental teachers improved significantly more than controls…

This is the second in a series of three tests of selected micro-teaching and video recording techniques designed to facilitate the identification of alternate ways to increase the effectiveness of vocational teacher education. The tests were conducted to develop feedback techniques in a laboratory under simulated teacher education conditions. This…

This is part of a series of studies conducted to assess the use of micro-teaching and video recording as a feedback device in teacher education. Fourth in the series and the first field test, the study was designed to test two variations in the techniques, feedback and type of student taught in a distributive education methods class at the Ohio…
