These techniques were studied by means of the Delphi procedures to determine their effectiveness in junior and community college instructions; by means of a survey to determine their usage in junior and community college instructions; and by means of a survey to determine their effectiveness in teaching minority students in junior and community colleges. There were two panels of respondents in this study: 1) the junior and community college instructors who participated in a summer Institute and 2) colleagues selected these participants. The participants were also surveyed regarding what techniques should be included in a future in-service program. The teaching techniques of behavioral objectives, reinforcement, higher order questions, probing questions, divergent questions, and interaction analysis were deemed highly effective by the participants' panel final mean response. A significant change of opinion regarding these techniques was indicated between rounds of the Delphi before and after Institute training. Further all of these techniques increased significantly in usage after the participants received training; and the techniques were recommended to be included in future in-service programs for junior and community college instructors. The final mean response indicated that lecture with visual aids was also a highly effective technique but no significance level was reported for the variance between rounds. Effective techniques, according to the Delphi final mean responds were: demonstration, audio-tutorial units, small group discussion, individual projects, Taba's concept formation activities, recall questions, seminar, Taba's activities to interpret data, Taba's activities to apply principles, assigned reading, individualized learning package, written reports, brainstorming, assigned listening, panel discussion and buzz groups. Of these, activities to interpret data, activities to apply principles, assigned reading, written reports, brainstorming, and buzz groups were found to have a significant variance between rounds indicating a change of opinion after training..
