Reactions to a self instructional microteaching course were investigated in a sample of 28 experienced teachers. (JY)

A variation on microteaching, the use of videotaped feedback during training, is suggested as an efficient and effective way for improving teachers' communication ability with hearing impaired students. Manually encoding English within a system of simultaneous communication has improved the climate for communication in classrooms for…

A look at a project undertaken at Sherbrooke University, Quebec, to determine the effectiveness of videotaping as an aid in teacher training. (Author)

Description of the main features of micro-teaching and some suggestions on how the micro-lesson can help those who are studying teaching. (Author/MM)

Author advocates use of video tape recordings to identify and study successful teaching techniques. (SP)

Discussed are the means of recording a microteaching session (i.e., audio or video tapes) in terms of the ends the technique implies. (LS)

The author, who is critical of the general misuse of instructional television today, uses the closed-circuit system at the University of Hawaii's College of Education as an example of how the medium may be intelligently and imaginatively applied to the instructional process. (LS)

The early phases of a study at the Stockholm School of Education, Stockholm, Sweden, explored the use of closed circuit television to: (1) replace classroom visits by supervisors of student teachers; (2) assess the reliability of subjective assessments in teacher training; and (3) tape micro-teaching sessions so that teacher trainees could analyze…

This study was designed to investigate the degree to which skills may be learned and practiced through microsimulation and then used under microteaching conditions. This investigation was conducted to determine the following: (a) if preservice teachers who have acquired and practiced complex teaching skills through microsimulation employ these…

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…

This paper offers an introduction to microteaching and how it would be used in the Associate Instructor Teachers Skills Program (AITSP). The first section deals with the basic phases of microteaching: a) modeling, b) feedback, and c) practice. The second section explains the three approaches used in the AITSP teaching practicum: a) Stanford…

The general purposes of this project were to test microteaching procedures for teacher training and to study relations between the process of teaching and its outcome. The project made use of "cued" video models (a short peep being superimposed whenever the model demonstrated a goal-related behavior), videotape self-feedback with self-evaluation…

This paper deals with the use of microteaching techniques to train student teachers in stimulating learners' questions. Research was carried out at the Gordon Teachers Training College, Haifa, Israel. A rating scale, including teaching patterns stimulating learners' questions, was prepared from the existing literature and the analysis of pilot…

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)
