High school teachers return to North Texas in the summer for either refresher courses or further graduate study.

Closed-Circuit Television Serves As Teacher Training Supplement

Preparing students to teach has been an important factor at NT since its beginning. This year technology as a teacher education aid was stressed.

The School of Education videotaped procedures in various Denton area schools, then made the tapes available to student teachers in education classes.

Dr. Roderic DuChemin is in charge of the program. During the national election, tapes were made of third and fifth-grade classes. "By making tapes of the children before and after the election," Dr. DuChemin said, "every stage of their development in attitude concerning the election is presented."

During National Election Week in November, two education classes watched Lab School classes by closed-circuit TV in the Education Lecture Hall.

Psychology courses, contained in the same school with education, also contribute to studies in better education. In the fall Dr. Earl Kooker of the psychology faculty published a study in misuse of statistics. It shows that public schools, for example, can be discredited by presenting the most shocking statistics from the worst school in a given year.
