This publication represents four years of work by the Commission on Implications of Recent Research on Teaching. An article by Henry Hermanowicz, "Studies of Teaching and Their Impact on Future Developments in Teacher Education," (ED 024 624) reviews recent critical examinations of teacher education, new developments in the systematic study of teaching, and the resultant emergence of theories of teaching. One by Martin Haberman, "Relating the Study of Teaching to Other Dimensions of Teacher Education: A Proposal," discusses four critical characteristics of a teacher education program which determine its influence on students, then presents an overview of proposed content for a professional sequence. Four presentations report action programs in different institutions which have recently changed their programs to include a new emphasis on the analytical study of teaching: (1) "Conceptual Models for the Study of Teaching in the Syracuse Inter-University Program," Thomas Clayton, (2) "The Use of Interaction Analysis at Temple University," Edmund Amidon, (3) "The Study of Teaching Behavior by Prospective Teachers," Morton Waimon, and (4) "Supervisory Conferences and the Analysis of Teaching," Dorothy McGeoch and Margaret Lindsey. "The Uses of Research on Teaching: Implications and Recommendations" by Donald Sharpe focuses on problems of dissemination and application of research. a 158-item bibliography on the Study of Teaching is included.
