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).…

A study examined the effects on teacher performance and attitudes of several manipulations of the conditions under which the microteaching supervisor provides feedback: he bases his critique on (1) a videotape of the microteaching lesson which he views with the microteaching teacher (VT group); (2) an audiotape instead (AT group); (3) his…

This study was to determine the effects of audio (AT) and video tape (VT) feedback on both verbal and psychomotor skills when all other aspects of the Stanford microteaching model were controlled. Two experiments were involved, both consisting of two microteaching cycles--one for a verbal skill and the other for psychomotor skill. Subjects were 80…

This paper reflects on a decade of research, development and practice in the area of microteaching in teacher education. (Author)

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

In an experiment to test the effectiveness of discrimination training--contrasting good and poor teacher behaviors and demonstrating the stimulus occasions for these behaviors--as compared with feedback from an instructor in microteaching, a discrimination model for a limited class of teaching behaviors was devised and subjects were divided into…

This paper offers an introduction to microteaching and how it would be used in the Associate Instructor Teachers Skills Program (AITSP). The first section deals with the basic phases of microteaching: a) modeling, b) feedback, and c) practice. The second section explains the three approaches used in the AITSP teaching practicum: a) Stanford…

The work of this study resulted from two factors: a) the problems of giving feedback to the student teacher while he was on teaching practice or in microteaching; b) the relatively unstructured nature of this feedback when it was given. (Author/JA)

Theoretical considerations suggest that the differential effectiveness of teaching models and associated feedback procedures stems from their distinctive cueing properties. This led to the development of three treatment conditions which may be labeled "rating" (rehearsal of key discriminations), "observation" vicarious reinforcement), and "direct…

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…

This study investigated the influence of the feedback a teacher expects to receive after teaching on his preference for expository or discovery teaching styles. The subjects were 88 undergraduate educational psychology students at the University of Texas at Austin. Each completed a three-part questionnaire, the Teaching Style Inventory (TSI),…
