The teaching-learning relationship in online microteaching was explored using mixed methods. Adults (N = 40) alternated roles of "teacher" and "student" during a 15-min language learning session. Video analysis using a context-specific framework based on the science of learning revealed diversity in teaching approaches.…

The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of instruction differentiation in preventive classroom management strategies on preservice teachers' selected behaviors. Results indicated no significant main effect for treatment condition, and significant main effects for lesson type and microteaching session. Findings indicated that…

This study examined the development of prospective teachers' (PTs) understanding of productive struggle using video episodes which PTs analyzed through the lens of professional teacher noticing. Our qualitative study included 66 PTs in four sections of a semester-long mathematics content course for prospective elementary and middle school teachers…

This research aims to examine the effect of applying art-based learning model to the learning outcomes of effective teaching behavior of students in microteaching classes. The research design used a quasi-experimental design of non-equivalent control group design. Participants were students' microteaching classes in the Department of Islamic…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of instruction differentiation in preventive classroom management strategies on early childhood and elementary preservice teachers' selected behaviors during assigned classroom teaching of music instruction to peers. Participants were early childhood and elementary preservice teachers (N = 7)…

What is considered effective teaching varies across cultures, institutions, and disciplines. Concepts of effective teaching reflect the values and expectations of the educational culture and language in which it occurs. This study examines how participation in a course on intercultural communication affects the observable teaching behaviors of…

The purpose of the two studies reported in the article was to determine whether or not a relationship exists between preservice music therapists' and teachers' nonverbal behaviors and their perceived rapport. In study 1, evaluators (N = 56) viewed a stimulus tape consisting of 15 45-second segments of 15 preservice music therapists leading songs…

For twenty years, the author of this article has helped prepare teachers for middle and high school classrooms. As with most lengthy journeys, this author relates how her journey as a teacher educator had taken different pathways. Early in her career, she had emphasized mainly what teachers should know: levels of Bloom's taxonomy, types of…

The effectiveness of individually prescribed microteaching training modules in the acquisition of selected teaching behaviors is being studied in two different contexts: during the preinternship year in the Master of Arts in Teaching Program, Johns Hopkins University, and during student teaching in Teacher Education Centers, University of…

A study was conducted to determine whether personality variables are correlated with specific teaching behaviors as measured before and after a minicourse ("Effective Questioning in a Classroom Discussion," a self-contained package of instructional materials in which teaching skills, which the teacher practices by microteaching, are…

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 discussion of the results of a microteaching experiment in Great Britain that indicates that self-instructional microteaching is effective in bringing about large and stable changes in teacher behavior. (Author/HB)

This study evaluated the effects of a sequence of microteaching tasks on the teaching behavior of secondary education students. Audio tape recorded lessons of two groups of students were compared. One group of 27 taught ten lessons in a teaching laboratory using a sequence of instructional and learning tasks. A control group of 27 taught two…

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…

To test the effectiveness of the minicourse (an instructional microteaching package) in changing specific teacher behaviors, 20-minute pre- and postminicourse video-taped recordings of each of the 48 participating teachers' classroom lessons were made and were scored by trained raters. Further, to insure rater objectivity, delayed postcourse video…
