From the author: The purpose of this study was to describe the planning and interactive thoughts and decisions of less and more experienced preservice teachers (PTs). Twelve PTs, 6 less and 6 more experienced, planned, taught, and reviewed two lessons in lacrosse. While planning, the PTs were instructed to think aloud and verbalize their thoughts. After teaching, the PTs viewed six segments of their videotaped lessons and, following each segment, were presented with a set of questions, given orally. The verbal reports from the think aloud and stimulated recall sessions were audiotaped and transcribed. Descriptive analysis revealed that more experienced PTs made more information requests and decisions while planning than did less experienced PTs. During instruction, all subjects tended to teach from their plan when lessons were perceived to be progressing as planned. When lessons were perceived as not progressing as planned, the more experienced PTs tended to make lesson adjustments whereas the less experienced PTs tended to continue to teach without making any adjustment. These findings are discussed within the context of knowledge representation with implications for professional preparation.

From the supplier: An investigation was conducted to determine the preactive and interactive decision-making tendencies of less and more experienced preservice physical education teachers. The procedure involved monitoring the the teaching strategies of less and more experienced preservice teachers (PTs), as well as their ability to cope with the actual teaching environment. The results showed that more experienced PTs planned in more detail and were able to make adjustments in their teaching plans according to the progress of the class. The less experienced PTs made different types of interactive decisions and focused on different types of student cues when making their decisions.

Product Description
It is a common weakness of mankind to be caught by an idea and captivated by a phrase. To rest therewith content and to neglect the carrying of the idea into practice is a weakness still more common. It is this frequent failure of reformers to reduce their theories to practice, their tendency to dwell in the cloudland of the ideal rather than to test it in action, that has often made them distrusted and unpopular.

With our forefathers the phrase _mens sana in corpore sano_ was a high favorite. It was constantly quoted with approval by writers on hygiene and sanitation, and used as the text or the finale of hundreds of popular lectures. And yet we shall seek in vain for any evidence of its practical usefulness. Its words are good and true, but passive and actionless, not of that dynamic type where words are "words indeed, but words that draw armed men behind them."

Our age is of another temper. It yearns for reality. It no longer rests satisfied with mere ideas, or words, or phrases. The modern Ulysses would drink life to the dregs. The present age is dissatisfied with the vague assurance that the Lord will provide, and, rightly or wrongly, is beginning to expect the state to provide. And while this desire for reality has its drawbacks, it has also its advantages. Our age doubts absolutely the virtues of blind submission and resignation, and cries out instead for prevention and amelioration. Disease is no longer regarded, as Cruden regarded it, as the penalty and the consequence of sin. Nature herself is now perceived to be capable of imperfect work. Time was when the human eye was referred to as a perfect apparatus, but the number of young children wearing spectacles renders that idea untenable to-day.
