The Queensland (Australia) Board of Teacher Education lets research grants for work in the area of teacher education. As projects are completed, the Board periodically publishes summaries of the project reports. This volume, number three in the series, describes six research studies, as follows: "Student Teacher Stress in Field Studies" (M. Fogarty and others) revealed 40 stressors experienced by third-year student teachers during field studies and presents implications for further research. "An Investigation of the Effects of Training in Assertion and Interpersonal Communication Skills on Pre-Service Teacher Trainees" (Dawn Francis and others) was a descriptive study of the use of assertiveness training as a means of helping teacher trainees overcome communication apprehension and thus increase teacher effectiveness. "What Do Student Teachers Do? An Exploration of the Dynamics of Teacher Education in Queensland" (J. M. Genn) reports on research findings obtained in the course of a wider research project involving analysis of data provided by 441 Queensland student teachers from six teacher education institutions. "Educating Bachelor of Education Students through Self-Managed Learning Groups (S-MLG)" (Wayne T. Haines) reports on the effectiveness of these programs and what student teachers gained from them. "Perceptions of Teaching Practice: A Longitudinal Study" (Ross Muller) investigated the opinions of fourth-year experienced teachers concerning aspects of teaching practice. "Objectives and Skills Needed for Effective Reading Instruction" (R. J. Skilton and G. Bull) sought to determine the level of teacher knowledge and skills in the area of reading instruction. (CB)
