This handbook, developed for use in a microteaching laboratory, presents information on: (l) the history of microteaching; (2) research supporting microteaching; (3) advantages of microteaching; (4) teaching skill clusters (response repertoire, questioning skills, creating student involvement, increasing student participation, presentation…

IN AN EFFORT TO TRAIN TEACHERS TOO GEORGRAPHICALLY SEPARATED TO MEET REGULARLY FOR COURSE WORK, AN INSTITUTE WAS PLANNED AT COLORADO STATE COLLEGE IN GREELEY, COLORADO, ONE HUNDRED TEACHERS ATTENDED 2- TO 5-DAY ORIENTATION SESSIONS CONCERNING THE USE OF MICROTEACHING TECHNIQUES AND SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED MATERIALS IN WORKING WITH DISADVANTAGED…

One hundred and forty secondary teacher candidates who were enrolled in a first course in teaching were the subjects of a seven-week study to determine the effects of microteaching in a Teaching Laboratory (TL) on verbal behaviors. All students taught a 10-minute pretest prior to the start of the study and then were divided into two groups. Group…

The Social Science Observation Record (SSOR) is an interaction analysis-systematic observation scheme enabling users to engage in interaction analysis as a descriptive record. Pilot studies suggest that the knowledge of the system enables pre-service social studies teachers (using microteaching simulation) to modify their own behavior in…

This study found no significant difference in student achievement as a result of change in identified teacher behaviors in an American History course. The behaviors were those identified in the Stanford Teacher Competence Appraisal Guide. Behavior change was effected through the use of a microteaching teach-reteach cycle with feedback from…

To determine whether preservice teachers would demonstrate a significant change in level of teacher enthusiasm after participating in a training intervention on teacher enthusiasm, and whether these same preservice teachers could maintain the increased level of teacher enthusiasm three weeks after termination of training, twenty preservice…

Teacher education programs must provide experiences that promote learner growth and achievement. A study involving 28 physical education majors examined the use of microteaching as a means of affecting feedback behaviors of preservice teachers. Results are discussed. (DF)

Most teacher preparation classes are designed around the microteaching concept and focus on the "three T's": the teaching, talking, and terminating cycle. For an improvement in teaching skills, it is important for more than one teach/reteach cycle to be used. (JN)

Presented is a 30-item observational instrument to be used for the evaluation and description of preservice or inservice science teaching in the elementary school. Sections of the instrument include (1) use of intellectual development stages, (2) performance objectives, (3) lesson planning skills, (4) instruction sequencing, (5) question asking…

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 paper is concerned with the research and development work that is being undertaken in applying interaction analysis to the training of university lectures. Interaction analysis or the systematic observation of lecturing is a technique that has been used in conjunction with microteaching to facilitate the trainer's job in shaping the teaching…

An attempt was made to develop an appropriate teaching model to aid perspective science teachers acquire teaching skills and behavioral patterns appropriate for inquiry-oriented laboratory activities and experiments. Data were collected from two groups of secondary science methods students on their verbal behavior while in the role of laboratory…

Describes a successful summer institute utilizing videotaped microteaching and Flanders Interaction Analysis to help 14 community college professors improve their methods of interacting with students. (DC)

Discusses early teacher education in Germany, which followed a microteaching tradition or a psychological theory framework that included humanistic psychology, behavioral theory, and cognitive psychology. Examines the shift to training models focused on the specific needs of teacher tradition. Argues that training methods are a valuable supplement…

A workshop was developed based on the work of Jacob Kounin, who identified many variables that are representative of teacher style and are strongly correlated with children's behavior in recitation settings. His work reviewed "desist" techniques employed by teachers to stop children's misbehaviors. The first step in developing the…
