Microteaching is a teacher training and faculty development technique whereby the teacher reviews a recording of a teaching session, in order to get constructive feedback from peers and/or students about what has worked and what improvements can be made to their teaching technique. This film has a 1968 copyright. Aerial shot of the campus of Stanford University, students milling about going to class. A fountain. (:06-49). Titles: Teaching Skills, developed in the Microteaching Clinic, school of education, Stanford University, AN INTRODUCTION TO MICROTEACHING (:50-1:08). Many different shots of the campus of Stanford University. Dr. Kevin A. Ryan, Dr. James A. Cooper, Dr. Dwight W. Allen, Dr. Robert N. Bush are all introduced as they walk through the campus (1:09-1:50). Dr. Dwight W. Allen speaks to the camera. He talks about realistic teaching and how teaching is not like other professions. He talks about microteaching and how it is real teaching yet constructed teaching (1:51-4:15). Dr. Robert N. Bush talks to the camera. A teacher teaches while she is being videotaped for a critique of her style and techniques. She teaches the class and asks questions. Afterwards, she reviews herself teaching with an instructor by watching herself via the videotape, questions are asked and her performance is judged all the while she is learning how to teach better. Dr. Robert N. Bush wraps up this segment with his views on the situation(4:16-9:42). Dr. Kevin A. Ryan talks to the camera and gives his thoughts about microteaching - the feedback after watching the video is a plus. A teaching instructor reviews a teacher on videotape. Dr. Kevin A. Ryan gives a few points on what works with microteaching. Dr. Ryan is interspersed with shots of a teacher teaching. Dr. Ryan then shows his 5 sources of feedback on a blackboard: Supervisor, Tape recording, Colleagues, Students, and Self (9:43-12:42). Dr. James A. Cooper speaks to the camera. He talks about skill clusters. He shows a 16mm film on a projector which shows a teacher who uses a technique where he shows the students actual concrete items to give them something to identify with. The film stops and Dr. Cooper talks in the dark and then continues the film. A teacher talks about monkeys vs apes and shows a picture of both. Dr. Cooper again stops the film and talks in the talk before continuing the film. A teacher is shown using non-verbal clues. Dr. Cooper stops the film and discusses the 5 skill clusters: Presentation skills, Creating student involvement, Increasing student participation, Questioning skills, and Response Repertoire. Dr. Cooper sums things up (12:43-18:22). Dr. Dwight W. Allen speaks to the camera and sums up microteaching and how the more alternatives a teacher has, the more effective they will be (18:23-19:59). A shot of a tower at Stanford University and then the film ends, no end credits (20:00-20:18). Micro-teaching is a teacher training and faculty development technique whereby the teacher reviews a recording of a teaching session, in order to get constructive feedback from peers and/or students about what has worked and what improvements can be made to their teaching technique. Micro-teaching was invented in the mid-1960s at Stanford University by Dwight W. Allen, and has subsequently been used to develop educators in all forms of education. In the original process, a teacher was asked to prepare a short lesson (usually 20 minutes) for a small group of learners who may not have been his/her own students. This was then recorded on video. After the lesson, the teacher, teaching colleagues, a master teacher and the students together viewed the videotape and commented on what they saw happening, referencing the teacher's teaching objectives. Watching the video and getting comments from colleagues and students provide teachers with an often intense “under the microscope“ view of their teaching. A review of the evidence for micro-teaching, undertaken by John Hattie as part of his Visible Learning project, found it was the 6th most effective method for improving student outcomes.
