Eleven experienced counselors with graduate degrees in school counseling participated in an in-service course concerning supervision. Through the use of journal writing exercises and analysis of taped supervisory sessions, participants developed supervisory skills. (MKA)

An experiment was conducted to determine the efficacy of a self-instructional inservice program in Flanders' system of interaction analysis. Subjects (teachers in nine elementary schools in Tennessee) audiotaped three 20-minute lessons in either mathematics or social studies each week of the 18-week study. The instructional treatment, a one-hour…

To substantiate the theoretical efficacy of microteaching with videotaped feedback, 25 student teachers were assigned to a Teaching Techniques Laboratory in which microteaching methods were emphasized. Following completion of the training program, participants and a control group with no laboratory experience received placement in Chicago area…

This paper focuses on three methods that have been and are being used to help teachers become more facilitative: interaction analysis, human relations training, and microcounseling. The application of the Flanders System of Interaction Analysis to the vocational-technical education setting is described. (CT)

Teaching modalities and in-service training activities showing promise of increasing student learning and teaching effectiveness were identified by 25 community/junior college instructors who participated in a six-week institute for training in Flanders Interaction Analysis and questioning strategies. The Delphi process, surveys, and campus…

This investigation sought to determine the effects of a perceptual modeling concept, presented during the preservice experience, on the verbal behaviors of student teachers in their student teaching experience. Fifty-two preservice teachers were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group received instruction…

This paper presents a training model, Skill Development in Teaching (SKIT), designed for use in improvement programs for inservice teachers and in teacher education programs for preservice trainees. An introductory section notes the early use of Flanders' interaction analysis as a feedback tool for teachers, outlines a 1962 model in which it was…

A Minicourse on Flanders' Interaction Analysis was adapted and re-developed for use in West German teacher training institutions, and evaluated in several studies with pre- and inservice teachers. The Minicourse incorporates the microteaching components of discrimination training, laboratory teaching experience, and feedback. The results of four…

The three objectives of this study were: (1) To investigate the changes in different teaching behaviors effected by different instructions alone, training alone and the interaction between them when they are combined; (2) To reveal the structure of interrelations among classroom activities, classified according to two category observation systems,…

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of interaction analysis feedback on the verbal behavior of student teachers. Forty randomly selected senior elementary education students at the University of South Florida were trained in interaction analysis, and each was observed for eight weekly 15-minute periods during student teaching. Data,…

This document, intended for use by those who might wish to implement such a program, describes an inservice teacher self-improvement program based on goal setting by the teacher, practice of new skills, feedback about teaching performance, and self-analysis of the dissonance between goals and practice.

Twenty-five instructors from 11 different community colleges and 13 different disciplines participated in a six week institute at Texas A&M University, geared to improving teaching in junior and community colleges. The participants had an average of 5.08 years of experience in college level teaching, and all had at least a master's degree.…

A system for observing and coding verbal interchanges between the teacher and his pupils, at all instructional levels, is described in this study. The system, widely known as the Flanders System of Interaction Analysis, is reviewed in terms of its effect on the classroom behavior of teachers and on student attitudes. The application of the…
