| Abstract: | This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of providing different amounts of academic learning time in a microteaching laboratory for students majoring in elementary education. Both cognitive and performance achievement were measured. The subjects for the study were 72 female undergraduates who were randomly selected from three sections of a teacher preparation course during the Fall Semester of 1983. Two groups of 36 students each were then randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. Each treatment group was sub-divided into six randomly designated microteaching sections, each of which contained four to six subjects. Following an introduction to microteaching the two treatment groups received two different amounts of time for viewing video taped demonstrations of teaching skills to be employed in the microlessons of the following week. Also two different amounts of time were used for discussion of the following week's microlessons. Portions of the microteaching unit were presented to the two treatment groups in five weekly sessions that were one hour and forty-five minutes or two hours in length, depending upon the treatment. The fifteen minute treatment consisted of a five-minute video taped demonstration lesson incorporating specific teaching skills followed by ten minutes of practice and group discussion time. During the ten minute discussion period interaction occurred between the subjects and the microteaching instructors about the next week's microlessons. The thirty minute treatment consisted of two five-minute video taped demonstration lessons of specific teaching skills and twenty minutes of practice and discussion time that was used to talk with the subjects about their microlessons for the following week. A randomized control-group pretest-posttest design was used in the investigation. Descriptive, inferential, and correlational analyses were carried out on the data... |
