First published in 1986, Microteaching in Teacher Education and Training explains the basic principles of microteaching and contributes to the development of microteaching theory. It describes detailed research on microteaching in action carried out at one institution. The aims and behaviour of tutors are described in terms of providing effective training in teaching skills and education in teaching. Students’ perceptions of the quality of their supervision are then described in relation to their actual learning gains from microteaching. The authors describe the questionnaires and interviews which were used in these studies. Finally, affective learning is described and discussed. The authors put forward a framework of constructs and dimensions of microteaching. This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers of education.
