In the present study, a teacher training program based on behavioral therapy was conducted for high school correspondence course teachers of adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years who showed developmental difficulties. Participating teachers were assigned to either an immediate treatment (IT; n = 13) or delayed treatment control (DTC; n = 17) group to evaluate the effectiveness of the program, which comprised five 90-min sessions with small groups of three to six participants and was conducted over three months. The results showed significant improvement in students’ behaviors and social responsiveness and in teachers’ confidence among those in the IT group; however, those in the DTC group did not show any such improvement. We discuss the program’s feasibility in terms of developing support resources for teachers in Japanese high schools.

One is confronted with the necessity of choosing in a very limited way when attempting to discuss in a few minutes the training of teachers of high school arithmetic and keep in mind as a background theme the student who is not going to college. May we then assume the necessity of a broad liberal education, sound scholarship, professional training and a period of supervised teaching. This leaves us the time to bring into sharp relief a few points whose emphasis seems most likely to produce worthwhile improvement in this area of teacher training. In doing so it may be necessary in giving direction to our teacher training program to discuss somewhat in detail the aims and methods and points of view to be employed in arithmetic itself.

Distance education is used for teacher training at different levels and fields in Turkey. Launched in the 2000-2001 academic year and still applied by Anadolu University, the Pre-School Teacher Training Program is one of those programs offered by distance education. This study aims to evaluate Anadolu University’s Preschool Teacher Training Program in Turkey by obtaining student opinions. A total of 1,026 senior students enrolled in the Preschool Education major at the Open Education Faculty of Anadolu University participated in the survey. A questionnaire to determine the opinions of students on the program was used as a means of data collection. Means (X) and standard deviations (SD) were employed to analyze the survey data. The results showed that although the teacher candidates study at a good level, they do not have a good record of watching the television programs. The results also revealed that the opinions of teacher candidates about the textbooks, television programs, teaching practices, and academic assistance services are positive.
