A study determined whether videotaping preservice teachers' instruction lessons in early literacy methods courses was valuable to them in assessing their teaching and how best to develop a video portfolio for assessment purposes. Subjects, 10 kindergarten through fourth grade preservice teachers enrolled in three consecutive methods courses,…

Students in the Faculty of Education at the University of Pretoria have their student teaching performance assessed through the use of video-recorded micro-teaching situations. Three sources of video-teaching situations are used in the training of student teachers: (1) while teaching specific high school subjects; (2) senior teachers in their high…

This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of three feedback procedures by determining the relationship between the feedback procecures and the development of competence in establishing set by the teacher-trainees as indicated by the group mean gain scores on the "Hernandez-Klingstedt Establishing Set Rating Form." The feedback…

To investigate ways of improving preservice trade and industrial teaching practice sessions, 48 participants in a 1-week teacher education workshop were randomly assigned to eight treatments consisting of combinations of two levels of three major variables: (1) receiving or not receiving video feedback, (2) teaching two 10-minute lessons or four…

A study compared instances of self-supervision with more traditional supervision of student teachers to determine the relationships between this variable and teacher attitudes and interaction behavior. Eighty-four secondary education student teachers were engaged in self-supervision, or were more traditionally supervised, or both. Self-supervising…

Statistical analysis of the videotape recorder as a feedback device used to train teacher interns produced four conclusions: that videotape feedback to teacher interns did not produce behavioral changes significantly different from those teacher interns who did not receive feedback; that the addition of inputs such as critique and type scripts did…

Minicourse 4 on interaction analysis, an autoinstructional package based on the use of microteaching and the videotape recorder, was designed (1) to train teachers to categorize their own classroom behavior, using Flanders' system, to an 80 percent correct criterion level; (2) to increase frequency in classroom discussions of category 2, 3, and 4…

Seventy-four preservice teachers in home economics and social studies were videotaped during a 10-minute microteaching session prior to and after training.

This report covers the evaluation of preliminary field testing of a 1-year experimental training program designed to reach a larger number of Head Start teachers and teacher aides at a lower cost but provide an inservice program that was at least as good as an 8-week college program. The program began with a 4-day workshop for 60 teachers and…
