This review is concerned with self-confrontation counseling, which is defined as facing a subject with inconsistencies in his motivations or evasions. Such counseling involves two elements: the playback to a subject of his videotaped activity to allow him to view himself as others view him, and feedback to the subject in relation to the videotape.…

A study was conducted to determine to what extent student teaching behaviors can be changed as a result of participation in the Far West Laboratory Minicourse I, "Effective Questioning Techniques" (a program relying on microteaching, filmed instructional and model lessons, and on teacher planning and self-evaluation of his own videotaped lessons).…

Discussed are the means of recording a microteaching session (i.e., audio or video tapes) in terms of the ends the technique implies. (LS)

A three-day seminar for nurses was conducted to improve their ability to communicate effectively with other people. The method used in this seminar was microteaching. The basic ingredients of the microteaching concept are the communication techniques dimension, the teach-reteach dimension, and the immediate feedback dimension. Under the direction…

The use of television videotape equipment is an effective shortcut in replacing the inexperienced undergraduate concept of teaching is a 'gut' experience with a realistic concept of teaching; it nurtures humility without subjecting the student to humiliation. In the Nasson College secondary teacher education program, microteaching with videotape…

Feedback by teacher comment, by television playback, and by self-analysis, singly, or together, reduced anxiety in subsequent performance as measured by nonfluencies in speech. Nonfluencies were counted in eight categories: the sounds, "ah,""um," or "uh;" correction; sentence incompletion; repetition; stutter; intruding incoherent sound; tongue…

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…

To gauge the effect of different microteaching variables on the effectiveness of microteaching, three treatment conditions were set up. In the oral group, oral evaluation by the supervisor was not available to the subjects (student teachers). In the video group, video recording or playback was not available. In the peer group, ninth-grade…

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…

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…

Shows how experimental approaches to adult education, such as microteaching, video-tape feedback, and simulation techniques, can be useful to educators and their students. Offers an instructional design model to be tested and modified to meet individual educational needs as a means of facilitating the use of these approaches. (DMM)
