The Validation of Translated Instructional Materials for Latin American Teacher Education—II.

The article focuses on the validation of translated instructional materials for Latin American teacher education in the U.S. At the University of California in Los Angeles, a group of teacher educators developed Spanish language versions of these materials. Several versions of translated instructional materials were developed in various forms, such as filmstrip-tape, audiotape-slide, and printed booklet. However, a result of an investigation revealed that Mexican teachers prefer to use printed version because of their unfamiliarity of programmed audio-visual instructional materials.
