A video-based program on lesson analysis for pre-service mathematics teachers was implemented for two consecutive years as part of a teacher education program at the University of Lazio, Italy. Two questions were addressed: What can preservice teachers learn from the analysis of videotaped lessons? How can preservice teachers' analysis ability,…

A discussion of the results of a microteaching experiment in Great Britain that indicates that self-instructional microteaching is effective in bringing about large and stable changes in teacher behavior. (Author/HB)

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)

Compares the effectiveness of videotapes, audiotapes, and Flanders Interaction Analysis, in microteaching. (JF)

A bibliography complementary to one on microteaching by McAleese and Unwin which previously appeared in Programmed Learning & Educational Technology (v10 n1 p40-54 1973). (Author/HB)

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…

Experiments with internal television (ITV) at the Stockholm School of Education are reviewed in this newsletter. The purposes of the experiments have been (1) to study the effects of ITV illustrations of theoretical instruction in education and methodology, (2) to investigate the possibilities of conveying information in teacher training via ITV,…

This two part Saskatchewan NewStart school aide curriculum guide outlines program content and procedures for trainees and for their instructors. Stressing the responsibility of trainees for much of the content impact, the first volume provides questions, training outlines, and other resources (including guidelines on microteaching) to equip…

This study analyzed aspects of the supervisory conference that uses the vehicle of microteaching to improve supervisor behavior. Six members of a Principles and Practices of Secondary Teaching class assumed the role of teacher in the microteaching situation, and graduate students enrolled in a Principles of Educational Supervision course performed…

This project attempted to design an experimental model for a teacher education program in the College of Education of the University of Alabama. The model attempted to identify students' concerns and problems and to test a novel approach for personalizing their programs through the inclusion of microteaching. Three distinct stages were included.…

This study was to determine if training in teaching strategies would result in use of a wider variety of teaching strategies. In the first training method used, a videotaped model of the strategies was shown to the trainees, and its elements analyzed and discussed. The trainees attempted to reproduce the strategy in microteaching situations. In…

This study evaluated the effects of a sequence of microteaching tasks on the teaching behavior of secondary education students. Audio tape recorded lessons of two groups of students were compared. One group of 27 taught ten lessons in a teaching laboratory using a sequence of instructional and learning tasks. A control group of 27 taught two…
