It was hypothesized that this experience would help them become more concerned with their pupils than with themselves and become more aware of the…

Earlier research has demonstrated that verbal teaching behaviors can be modified through the Teaching Laboratory (TL), which consists of peer group microteaching experiences. This study investigated whether or not these behaviors would persist into later student teaching. Each of 50 secondary student teachers, who were divided into control and…

Minicourse 1, an auto-instructional package based on the microteaching-video tape recorder process, instructs the teacher in specific teaching skills and directs him in self-evaluation of his own teaching. Field tests in Minicourse (MC) 1 (questioning skill at the elementary school level) indicated behaviorally significant changes in teachers and…

A study examined the comparative effects on microteaching performance of (1) eight different methods of teacher training and (2) the interaction of method with student characteristics.
