The Development of a Series of Instructional Modules Utilizing Simulation Techniques to Train Prospective Teachers Selected Specific Reading Skills.
Cheyney, Frazier Ray
Topics selected for the development in the modules were validated by master teachers, module development procedures were outlined, field test purposes and samples were described, field testing was performed, and results of objectives and subjective evaluations of the field testing were presented. The six modules developed specific teacher competencies in scoring and interpreting a quick decoding test and a comprehension reading inventory for the purpose of determining functional reading levels of pupils in decoding and comprehension; teacher competencies in scoring and interpreting a decoding and a comprehension criterion-referenced skill test; teacher competencies for explaining assessment data, instructional groups and instructional materials to parents; teacher competencies in recording skills test data from criterion-referenced skills test; teacher competencies in grouping children for decoding and comprehension instruction based on recorded data; and teacher competencies for organizing a classroom into learning centers. Field testing indicated that modules developed and revised in this project were successful for student attainment of instructional objectives. (Author/TS)
