This bibliography lists 151 manuscripts, dissertations and theses, journal articles, and books on videotaped microteaching prepared by American sources between 1964-1978 that have not been indexed in the ERIC data base. The documents are in chronological order and include sources. (Author/CJ)

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS CAN BE USED TO IMPROVE TEACHER EDUCATION. A MULTI-STATE TEACHER EDUCATION PROJECT PLANS AND DEVELOPS PROGRAMS FOR MICROTEACHING WITH THE HELP OF VIDEOTAPE RECORDERS (VTR). MICROTEACHING, THE ISOLATION OF SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF THE TEACHING TASK, ENABLES TRAINEES TO FOCUS ON AND ACQUIRE TECHNIQUES OF INSTRUCTION WITH THE…

This manual provides a set of tasks for use in the microteaching context of a Teaching Laboratory to be used in teaching pupils an approach to problem solving. The introduction describes the contents and functioning of the Teaching Laboratory and the way in which the manual should be used. Details of five lessons are then given. The first lesson…

Presented is an information package designed to answer questions regarding the use of microteaching and the Far West Laboratory's Minicourses. The package includes bibliographies concerning questioning teachniques, oral language development, tutoring, and the use of interaction analysis. Anslysis papers detail various minicourses and give a…

This paper elaborates on a list of procedures contained in an accompanying handout entitled "The 27 Steps in the Development Program." These 27 steps are subsumed under 12 categories: 1) research and information collecting, 2) planning, 3) develop preliminary form of product, 4) preliminary field testing, 5) main product revision, 6) main field…

This paper pulls together the knowledge and insights that have been accumulated in the development of Minicourses. It is expected that the guidelines will be revised and enlarged as new knowledge about this work is accumulated. The guidelines cover the following aspects of Minicourse development: initial planning, the introduction film, the…

Procedures for training undergraduates in basic teaching skills were developed over 7 semesters. The training involved six individual experimental programs of a semester's duration and a follow-up study of the students in the Spring of 1970 program. The training has been given to 438 elementary education majors. The purpose of the program was to…

A comparison of instructor evaluation of videotaped microteaching performance and student achievement on a multiple choice test showed no correlation between the two forms of assessment. (JY)

This study examined outcomes of a supervision practicum in which graduate students supervised undergraduates in teacher education during microteaching activities and studied their supervisory behavior using videotape replays of conferences with teacher-trainees. (Editor)
