Teaching behavior training
The term Teacher Training goes back to methods of teacher training , under the title micro teaching and mini-courses from Stanford University have been developed.
development
In the 1960s, the quality of school education moved more into the focus of pedagogical discussion. In particular, the traditional forms of teacher training were viewed critically. Attempts by Stanford University to practice partial teaching skills in isolation received attention . This microteaching was also used in Germany under various names in teacher training.
Another advance came through the improvement of video recording techniques . Alfons-Otto Schorb still needed a special studio for the Teaching in Documents project to record individual lessons, but since the early 1970s this has also been possible in a classroom. This made it possible to isolate and practice individual sequences or teaching activities based on the observation of specific lessons.
Berlin approach
After a few attempts, which were carried out by practical school seminars in cooperation with what was then the "Landesbildstelle Berlin", the "Central Facility for Teaching Behavioral Training and Teaching Documentation (ZLU)" was founded in 1975. A wide range of different courses was developed there, in which experience from the USA was taken up and further developed. There was both skill training in individual lesson sequences and learning opportunities based on lessons recorded on video tape. Parallel to the courses offered, an archive of around 1000 lesson records from Berlin schools was created, taken between 1979 and 2003.
