EDUC. 423-4 ANALYSIS OF TEACHING

J:NTERSESSION 1981

INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Barb Stafford

Monday and Wednesday 4:30 - 8:20

LOCATION: Campus

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

knowledge related to identifying, analyzing and observing major components

of the teaching-learhing 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 the act of

teaching, classroom climate, instructional strategies 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:

1.

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.
