VARIOUS RESEARCH ON MICROTEACHING IS BRIEFLY REVIEWED. THE METHOD DEVELOPED AT STANFORD CONSISTS OF THE PRESENTATION OF 5-10 MINUTE VIDEOTAPED LESSON SEGMENTS TO GROUPS OF 4 TO 6 PUPILS. THESE LESSONS WERE EVALUATED BY THE SUPERVISOR AND THE PUPILS AND THEN DISCUSSED BY THE INTERN AND THE SUPERVISOR DURING THE PLAYBACK. THE LESSON WAS IMMEDIATELY…

THE IMPLICATIONS FOR TRAINING READING TEACHERS OF CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN TEACHER EDUCATION RELEVANT TO READING INSTRUCTION, THE CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS, AND EVOLVING IDEAS ABOUT READING INSTRUCTION ARE EXAMINED. BRIEFLY DESCRIBED ARE MICRO TEACHING, VIDEO-TAPING, TIME-LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY, CLINICAL TEACHING…

This pilot project, a subproject of the Multi-State Teacher Education Project (M-STEP), was evaluated to determine the feasibility of applying it as a model for program development. The evaluation was divided into three feasibility components: administrative, educational, and human factors. Data was obtained from observation and testing of the 28…

The suggestions offered in this manual illustrate some aspects of videotape counseling, some apportunities and problems in counseling teachers, and some typical problems involving classroom teaching, cooperating teachers, supervisors, etc. The manual is designed mainly for counseling psychologists and educational psychologists who work with…

This program is based on the theory that students in education need early exposure to the classroom and is designed so that the student progresses through the professional education sequence receiving progressively more complex assignments. (JD)

A theoretical framework for the preparation of teachers through clinical laboratory experiences is presented. Four teacher roles and six purposes of clinical experiences are identified and arranged on an intersecting matrix, which can be a basis for designing clinical experience packages that integrate theory and practice. A sample package is…

Clinical settings are more important in teacher education than simply as arenas in which meaningful instruction behaviors are practiced. Training of teachers must be viewed as a process of induction into the classroom environment, in which the clients (students) work very powerfully on the trainees. (FG)

Microteaching was developed in 1963 at Stanford University and was used initially for the training of secondary school teachers. It is controlled practice of specific teaching behavior; therefore, the role of the supervisor is important. Microteaching has the following advantages: faculty have to get together to agree on common purposes in its…

This 414-item bibliography contains citations of published and unpublished documents and journal articles processed by the Clearinghouse between July 1968 and June 1970 related to the "means and methods by which pre- and in-service school personnel can secure structured practice in developing skills and insights." Publication dates of the…

Presents a method for observation and analysis of videotapes called deep viewing through the use of communal talk, pictures, and writing. The paper explains its applications to teacher education and details activities that link it to a greater understanding of teaching. (SM)

The traditional model for student teaching is based on a one-to-one relationship between the student teacher and the supervising teacher. However, by providing interaction with only one individual, the possibility for varied practice and feedback is limited. A model is proposed in which five student teachers work with one supervising teacher. The…

This second of a series of evaluation reports of the Cooperative Urban Teacher Education (CUTE) program covers 1968-69 and replicates portions of the 1967-68 evaluation, assesses the effects of the program, and provides recommendations to the program directors. Data were collected in Kansas City, Mo., Oklahoma City, Okla., and Wichita, Kansas,…

The hypotheses of this field study, conducted in connection with the Teaching Techniques Laboratory at the University of Illinois, were that student teachers who had participated in a supervised, laboratory, microteaching experience would: 1) receive more favorable pupil evaluations of an initial and final teaching effort on the Teacher…

The use of videotape is a critical element in minicourse and microteaching for teacher preparation, yet its role and function have not been systematically researched. Recent studies examining audience and videotape feedback to explain the effectiveness of minicourse and microteaching obtained inconsistent findings. It is suggested that the mostly…
