The purpose of this study was to explore how a group of 74 inservice teachers, collaborating in pairs, planned a short language-arts lesson for a class of simulated pupils who exhibited maximum contrasts in emotional intelligence. Analysis of...

This study explored the effects of collaboration versus non-collaboration on preservice teacher performance on a computer-based simulation. The simulation focused on planning a short language arts lesson for a small class of fifth-grade pupils who...

This article introduces LearningLinks, a Visual Basic software tool that allows teachers to create highly individualized learning modules that embrace powerful constructivist and behavioral learning principles. A sample of 35 undergraduate students...

Over the past eighteen years, computer-based teaching simulations have been used by over 2,000 pre-service teachers at the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education. Recent simulations have focused on a two-part lesson-planning activity in...

This paper describes a Visual Basic simulation designed to provide participants with an opportunity to plan lessons for unmotived students and then to compare their planning decisions with those of classmates and/or other teacher cohorts. The...

This paper describes the key features of the LPII, a Visual Basic simulation that is designed to help preservice teachers to gain insights in planning effective lessons for both motivated and unmotivated students. The tool's four-step decision...

Comparing Simulation-based Lesson Planning in Experienced and Preservice Teachers Harold R. Strang Curry School of Education University of Virginia Introduction Over the past several years, an ongoing research project in preservice and ...

Nurturing reflective teaching and improving critical-thinking instructions are two important goals of teacher education. Both goals can be achieved only when teachers-in-training are provided with opportunities for building professional knowledge...
