Resumen de An Individual, Audiovisual In‐service Course for Teachers:: The Early Reading In‐service Course
This paper describes the principles, design, use and preliminary evaluation of an attempt to use an audiovisual mode as the basis for an 11 ‐week in‐service course for practising teachers. The course content was particularly concerned with the philosophy and practices of teaching reading to five‐ to seven‐year‐old children. The audiovisual mode, plus supporting materials and services, was chosen to help make the course vivid, practical and readily accessible to every New Zealand teacher of junior pupils. Preliminary observation after three years’ use with teachers indicates that there is continuing very heavy demand by teachers for access to the course, and that the course is capable of changing teacher behaviour in ways consistent with the course aims
