ANALYSIS OF TEACHING

SPRING 1979

Dr. Barbara I. Stafford.

"Analysis of Teaching" is designed to provide teachers with skills

and knowledge related to identifying, analyzing and observing major components

of the teaching-learning process. Research has pointed out that there is

often a discrepancy between what teachers think they are doing during the

instructional process and what they actually do. To decrease or eliminate

such a discrepancy, the course will focus on classroom climate, classroom

interaction, instructional strategies and formal and informal observation

techniques.

Students will be required to read and assess selected journal articles,

including research studies.

?

In addition to the reading assignments, students

will be expected to:

write three short papers,

2.

report on two classroom observations,

3.

prepare and analyze one videotape of themselves

teaching a fifteen to twenty minute lesson.

Grades will be based on the above assignments and participation throughout

the course.
