The authors argue that microteaching (a technique for training teachers whereby the central communication skills involved in teaching are identified, defined, and taught) should be used more extensively in special education. (SBH)

Microteaching as developed at Stanford University has received much attention from educators, but the model has not been adapted in many institutions due to the cost and time involved. To help professionals evaluatemicroteaching at their institutions, this paper looks at the rationale and effectiveness of the full model as developed at Stanford…

The purpose of this study was to determine if relationships do exist between personality variables and specific micro-teaching skills developed under supervised and unsupervised conditions. (Author)

Microteaching is a successful analytical tool because of its precision and simplicity, its low pressure approach, and the fact that it encourages experimentation. In addition, the technique is easily mediated, replicated, and controlled. (Author/JD)

Research in microteaching at the Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development resulted in a self-contained instructional package labeled the minicourse. Designed to train the teacher in a microteaching situation with self-evaluation only (providing the feedback normally assigned to a supervisor through evaluation forms), the…

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)

Cook School District is a Web-based simulation designed to allow teacher candidates an opportunity to explore connections between their actions as teachers and the learning and engagement of simulated students. The simulation provides a setting in which to practice the processes inherent in teacher work sample methodology (TWSM). The outcomes of…

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…

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…

This article presents seven teaching behaviors which have been organized into a sequential progression for utilization with undergraduate trainees prior to student teaching. (RC)

The effectiveness of microteaching as a method of training student teachers in human relations skills is assessed. (BRT)

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)

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…

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…
