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)

A staff development conference sponsored by the Massachusetts Bureau of Adult Services for thirty teachers of English as a second language included microteaching techniques for adult educators. (MS)

The subject of both papers is microteaching. The purpose of the first study was to assess the effects of focusing on general technical skills versus interpersonal relationship skills in conjunction with microteaching. A total of three training procedures were used: (1) directive lecture (DL), (2) non-directive lecture (NDL), and (3) microteaching…

The Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) was used to test the existence of a relationship between attitudes to microteaching and personality of students. A correlation between extroversion and favorable attitude to microteaching, and a negative relationship between neuroticism and favorable attitude to microteaching is demonstrated; however, the…

This experiment was conducted to determine whether preservice teachers taking a combination of Minicourses and student teaching (the experimental group) would develop greater teaching skills than teachers taking only student teaching (the control group). Pre- and post-video tapes of their teaching performances were scored and compared using…

The value of four pre-training screening devices for predicting student teaching effectiveness was examined. The four activities were a) microteaching for 7 minutes, b) microteaching for 30 minutes, c) role playing using reality therapy, and d) values conflict discussion.
