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…

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…

Social learning theory is the theory that is applied through microteaching. The two critical sets of social learning variables mediated through microteaching are those associated with modeling and feedback. Microteaching is also a way of bringing specific teaching responses under experimental and behavioral control. Thus in each microteaching…

Reviews research related to science teacher education which suggests that specific verbal and non-verbal instructional skills can be developed by providing positive models of desired behavior, varying the amount of practice teaching during the training, providing specific feedback on limited behaviors, and modifying training according to trainee…

Research performed pursuant to a contract with the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Office of Education.

This paper presents a training model, Skill Development in Teaching (SKIT), designed for use in improvement programs for inservice teachers and in teacher education programs for preservice trainees. An introductory section notes the early use of Flanders' interaction analysis as a feedback tool for teachers, outlines a 1962 model in which it was…

The Social Science Observation Record is a systematic observation system. When used to provide feedback to preservice social studies teachers participating in a teach-reteach microteaching sequence, subjects obtained a significant increase in value-oriented student behavior. When used to analyze printed transcripts of mathematics teachers,…

TO COMPARE MODES OF TRAINING TEACHERS IN THE LECTURING SKILL OF REDUNDANCY WITHOUT USING DIRECT SUPERVISORY-TEACHER CONFERENCES, 94 TEACHER INTERNS WERE RANDOMLY GROUPED FOR SIX EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENTS. A RECORDING OF THE INTERN'S CLASSROOM PERFORMANCE WAS FOLLOWED TWICE BY A TRAINING SESSION AND ANOTHER RECORDING. TREATMENTS WERE--VIEWING A MODEL…

The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) Media Project was developed to determine whether (1) the gap between the producer and the user of educational innovations could be bridged; (2) a meaningful way to present the results of educational research to the user could be designed; and (3) the integrated and functional use…
