Study showed that no significant differences existed between parents' and teachers' perceptions of the behavior patterns of exceptional children, but that parents restructured their perceptions to conform more closely to those of teachers. (GW)

Microteaching has been suggested as a useful method for teacher training since it is "real teaching" and because it focuses on the training of specific tasks. (DMT)

This investigation presents information concerning the relationship of stability of teacher behavior to teacher effectiveness and teacher responsiveness to inservice training. (DMT)

Current emphasis on the changing sex role expectations of women in the direction of increased assertiveness and independence has prompted investigation of the impact this emphasis has on teacher perceptions of student behavior. (DMT)

Since similarity inhibits learning, children will have greater difficulty learning responses that are more similar to each other; the instructional procedure of separating similar sounds was evaluated in two experiments. (DMT)

Evidence suggests that teacher self-concept has an effect upon the development of student self-concept in two of the four dimensions tested. (DMT)

This study compares the effects of two teacher training programs designed to emphasize one of two forms of behavior modification in teaching economics to fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade pupils. (DMT)

Student teachers, after listening to two taped supervisory conferences, rated the more directive supervisory behavior (typified by declarative and expository statements and an authoritarian posture) as more desirable. Discrepancies between these results and those of earlier studies are discussed. (MJB)

Training in perspective-taking skills (the ability to imagine how objects look relative to one another from another person's point of view) resulted in considerable transfer of learning to other tasks and continued subject superiority over controls seven months later, indicating an inter-stage change in cognition. (MJB)

In an analysis of the National Teacher Examination (NTE), the authors found that the weighted common examination scores are significant predictors of effective teaching (student achievement), if the variance shared with teacher race is included. (Author/MJB)

Viewing a videotaped model giving responses to a creativity test did have an effect on sixth graders' creativity performance in this study, but the effect varied with sex, race, creativity traits measured, and test used. (MJB)

The author found that college students felt that a mid-quarter course evaluation caused some changes in their courses if the instructor conducted discussions of the evaluation results. (ED.)

Participation in English and speech remediation courses resulted in significant differences in grades, grade point average, and retention rates, as well as in trends over four semesters of college work, of treatment group students in relation to two control groups. (MJB)

In this study of teacher/course evaluations by college students, the authors found that different stated purposes for the evaluation (student use, instructor use, or administrator use) had no differing effects on student ratings. Graduate teaching assistants received higher ratings than did either assistants or full professors. (MJB)

Response changes on multiple-choice items tend to improve test scores of elementary school children. (Author/MJB)
