This document is intended to aid inservice teachers in developing their classroom teaching skills through the use of role-playing techniques. The material is designed for use as part of an audiovisual teacher education minicourse. Suggestions are given for planning and executing dramatic experiences and learning activities. Use of a videotape…

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…

To test the effectiveness of the minicourse (an instructional microteaching package) in changing specific teacher behaviors, 20-minute pre- and postminicourse video-taped recordings of each of the 48 participating teachers' classroom lessons were made and were scored by trained raters. Further, to insure rater objectivity, delayed postcourse video…

This is one of a series which focuses on innovations in the training and supervision of counselors. It discusses micro-counseling by providing: (1) a definition of the procedure; (2) a description of models of practice; (3) a discussion of the effects of using micro-counseling; (4) suggestions for possible applications of the procedure; and (5)…

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 report discusses the conditions for initiating the renaissance of the laboratory schools. These conditions include the discovery of the principle of semi-conductors as electronic amplifiers, new advances in statistical methods of measurement, the development of microteaching, and the use of the accountability movement which in turn provides…

This is a trainer's manual for the third of six components in the Instructional Staff Development (ISD) program. The purposes listed include increasing the participant's awareness of his present style in inquiry behavior, enabling him to assess and modify his behavior, and introducing a teacher-directed inquiry model. The hope is expressed that by…

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…

A general look at the development of microteaching for preservice teacher education. (HB)

Results of tests indicate that the microteaching experience brings about a positive change in the self-concept of education students. (JD)

The college of education can use video technology to save time and money as well as facilitate effective teaching. (Author)
