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)

Examines the relationship between evaluations of four pretraining screening activities designed to approximate behaviors teachers are likely to perform and supervisor ratings of student teacher effectiveness. (Author)

This study investigated the effect of the presence or absence of a Videotape Recorder and the use of peer leadership versus supervisor leadership in critique sessions during the preservice training of elementary school teachers using microteaching. (Authors/JA)

The steps taken in preparing a programed instruction microprogram (no more than 25 frames) are not significantly different from the traditional steps; the author describes them briefly. Inexpensively produced, microprograms can be used effectively to explain employee benefits, time card preparations, computer input methods, product orientations,…

A staff development conference sponsored by the Massachusetts Bureau of Adult Services for thirty teachers of English as a second language included microteaching techniques for adult educators. (MS)

The methods course evaluated from the students' point of view. (RL)

Describes a microteaching program that integrates theory and practice for student teachers. (HS)

When compared with traditional forms of teacher preparation, the structuring of teaching into microteaching techniques resulted in more effective teaching by a group of home economics student teachers in this study. Such structuring appeared successful regardless of certain demographic variables among the student teachers. (Editor/BC)

Although there is not much data on microteaching because it has been in use only nine years, the available data indicates that it is very effective for teacher training courses. Bibliography. (AF)
