This study was to determine if training in teaching strategies would result in use of a wider variety of teaching strategies.

The trainees attempted to reproduce the strategy in microteaching situations. In…

This paper offers an introduction to microteaching and how it would be used in the Associate Instructor Teachers Skills Program (AITSP). The first section deals with the basic phases of microteaching: a) modeling, b) feedback, and c) practice. The second section explains the three approaches used in the AITSP teaching practicum: a) Stanford…

The general purposes of this project were to test microteaching procedures for teacher training and to study relations between the process of teaching and its outcome. The project made use of "cued" video models (a short peep being superimposed whenever the model demonstrated a goal-related behavior), videotape self-feedback with self-evaluation…

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)
