Teacher educators continue to seek ways in which teacher education programs can provide experiences for student teachers which will assist them to acquire the skills necessary in promoting effective classroom interactions. This article discusses the role that simulation might play in providing meaningful practice situations for student teachers.…

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…

A study compared instances of self-supervision with more traditional supervision of student teachers to determine the relationships between this variable and teacher attitudes and interaction behavior. Eighty-four secondary education student teachers were engaged in self-supervision, or were more traditionally supervised, or both. Self-supervising…

Video tapes of student teachers micro-teaching in a high school biology class were analyzed. Attention was focussed on students' interpretations of data and the teacher's responses to these interpretations. Examples are given of student explanations which teachers find unsatisfactory but which are valid alternatives based on the data available to…

The object of this study was to assess costs, practical problems, and personal attitudes connected with using videotape recording (VTR) as an adjunct to in-person supervision of student teachers. Student teachers' performance in the classroom was recorded by videotape technicians once or twice during their student teaching experience, and the…

Student teachers given microteaching and traditional observation treatments were compared with a no-preparation control group. Results revealed that students taught by student teachers trained through microteaching achieved higher mean mathematics scores and demonstrated higher frequency counts of participation in classroom activities.

The minicourse and microteaching instructional procedures were perceived as being effective in teaching the concepts identified in the model. (Author)

One hundred and forty-eight student teachers from Israel Institute of Technology were subjects of an experiment investigating effectiveness of microteaching alone as compared with a category observation system as a training method, and interaction between the two when combined. Thirty-two subjects were assigned at random to each of the four cells…

Experiment designed to help meet the need for more controlled experiments on the effects of microteaching and to investigate different areas of teacher behavior over more than one time period. (Authors)

This study determined the effects of the opportunity to acquire a questioning strategy related to content-oriented values clarification inquiry and investigated whether teachers given the same objective of incorporating values clarification into their on-going content-related lessons could do so without receiving training in an appropriate…

This anthology of articles and reports on micro-team teaching (a scaled down team teaching operation usually taking place in a single, self-contained classroom with two student teachers and one cooperating teacher) is divided into three sections. Section One, "An Overview of Micro-Team Teaching," discusses trends in the preservice phase of teacher…

The effectiveness of a minicourse designed to improve the questioning skills of student teachers in grades 4-6 was investigated. Microteaching experience and supervisory feedback on student teaching behavior were provided for the experimental group, who made more significant gains in effective teaching behavior than the control group.
