An experiential and a traditional approach in preparing teachers

Abstract

INFORMATION TO USERSThis material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted.The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, itis an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame.3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sscticning" the materia!. !t is custorr.ary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again -beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

T test of post-test data on interpersonal communication 63 4The research hypothesis was: Education students who participate in a structured human relations laboratory will demonstrate attitudes and behav iors which are significantly different from those of students trained in a traditional approach to a general methods course.Specific hypotheses derived from the research hypothesis were;1. The level of interpersonal communication will be significantly higher for students trained in a human relations laboratory than for students trained in a traditional approach to a general meth ods course, 2. Self-perception will be significantly different for students trained in a human relations laboratory than for education stu dents trained in a traditional approach to a general methods course.3. Beliefs about the educative process will be significantly differ ent for students trained in a human relations laboratory than for students trained in a traditional approach to a general methods course.4.

An evaluation of a values clarification seminar in the preservice education of teachers

“…FIRO-B demonstrated an internal consistency with a mean coefficient of .94 and a reliability test-retest coefficient of .76 among Harvard students over a one-month period. Olsen (1973) reported alpha coeffi cients ranging from .71 to .92 on the six scales of the FIRO-B.…”

“…Unfortunately, the sub ject of values has not been the object of much scientific investiga tion, to the detriment of the measurement of values.Certainly, another limitation involved the concept of academic free dom relative to the unique teaching style of the eight different univer sity instructors who taught the various sections within each of the two research groups. Taking these limitations into consideration, the dis cussion for each major hypothesis follows Olsen (1973),. in a study comparing a human relations laboratory approach with a traditional approach in the preparation of teacher, used the FIRO-B to measure behavior in interpersonal situations.…”
