This paper contrasts the spread and change strategies in two applied behavioral science movements, psychoanalysis and the laboratory method of experiential learning. (Author)

One way to improve the quality of education is to improve the quality of the instructional program. Programs of professional laboratory experiences provide opportunities for students of teaching to apply theory to practice in real classroom situations. (Author/RK)

Presents the view that laboratory work has been overemphasized. Need to critically examine effects on students of this practice. Some objections to current laboratory hours include irrelevance to student's future careers, recipe-type experiments, and conflicts with main academic objectives. (PS)

Describes a one-semester junior course with emphases placed on students' use of instructions designed by their peers in doing laboratory exercises, and indicates the feasibility of such a plan to a rather small range of group sizes. (CC)

Discusses the effectiveness and the history of a simplified teaching practice, microteaching, which is carried out under controlled conditions using sound and vision feedback to modify operant teacher behavior. (Author/RK)

Paper presents a course design which attempts to effect a meaningful integration of both concepts and experience and to deal with some of the problems and issues of doing laboratory training in the university setting. (Author)

Illustrates the use of a flow chart to facilitate planning of laboratory exercises by two chemical examples. (AL)

In order to make chemistry teaching interesting and relevant, a special course was planned with an intent to teach industrial laboratory techniques to juniors and seniors in high school. The program was taught through laboratory experiments and utilized individualized instruction. List of topics covered in course are included. (PS)

Lack of practicality in existing textbooks results in development of new lab-centered, instruction. Technical Education is a supplement to Industrial Education. (SN)

The urgent task is to insure that programs in teacher education prepare competent teachers. (JS)
