The most basic and important responsibility in nurturing future teachers is to train them effectively to become as versatile and as skilled as possible. In training future teachers it is most important that they be taught how to function as effectively as possible in the classroom. Such effectiveness means skills in planning, carrying out, and evaluating lessons, and in making improvements when desirable.
To shape effective behavior, it is essential to train potential teachers in all the various basic pedagogical skills inherent in the process of good classroom teaching. However, rather than fostering these basic skills separately one by one, it is mandatory that they be treated as an integrated series of skilled behaviors functioning within the framework of an orgainzed behavioral system.
This study, based on present student teacher practice teaching, developes a training system which consists of pre-practice teaching training and post-practice teaching training activities and of utilizing microteaching techinques.
In this report, the structure, content, and methodology of this training system will be elucidated, and various trial cases will be presented, at least in part.
