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)

TO DETERMINE THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF THREE MODELING PROCEDURES FOR MODIFYING TEACHER BEHAVIOR (APPLIED, ILLUSTRATIVELY, TO HIGHER-ORDER QUESTIONING BEHAVIOR), VIDEOTAPES WERE MADE OF A SERIES OF FOUR MICROTEACHING SESSIONS REPRESENTING IN A 2 X 2 X 2 FACTORIAL DESIGN (N 103) THAT FURNISHED EIGHT EXPERIMENTAL GROUPS, (1) SYMBOLIC VERSUS…

A study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of live model v videotape presentations in home economics education relative to student achievement and performance. Findings support the feasibility of videotape presentations for the acquisition of knowledge and performances of demonstration and laboratory teaching strategies. (JOW)

This is part of a series of studies conducted to assess the use of micro-teaching and video recording as a feedback device in teacher education. Fourth in the series and the first field test, the study was designed to test two variations in the techniques, feedback and type of student taught in a distributive education methods class at the Ohio…
