This textbook on verbal classroom interaction is designed to be used as one unit in an educational psychology course at the postsecondary level. The book is divided into three sections which discuss the Flanders' Interaction Analysis System (FIAS), the categories in the system, and the use of the system. The first section gives the underlying…

Described is a device for use by teachers who are deaf, to assist them with the improvement of their instruction through the Flanders Interaction Analysis method of assessing teachers' classroom performance. Explained, and illustrated with photographs, is an electrical device which, when attached to a videotape recording camera, displays a…

This article introduces secondary and college economics teachers to the technique known as interaction analysis. The Flanders system of analyzing language in the classroom and techniques for applying interaction analysis in economics courses are discussed. For journal availability see SO 504 499. (Author/RM)

This doctoral dissertation examines the question of whether student classroom behavior influences teachers' classroom behavior, and if so, whether the direction of change is predictable, as has been suggested by previous research. The four hypotheses tested were: 1) There will be a significant change in teacher behavior when there is change in…

Phase 1 has been completed of a five-phase project to develop a model of teacher role behavior in individualized classrooms, to develop teacher training courses (including workshops) for behaviors specified by the role model, and to train teachers (inservice and/or preservice) to fulfill the role provided by the model. The classroom management…

THE IMPLICATIONS FOR TRAINING READING TEACHERS OF CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN TEACHER EDUCATION RELEVANT TO READING INSTRUCTION, THE CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS, AND EVOLVING IDEAS ABOUT READING INSTRUCTION ARE EXAMINED. BRIEFLY DESCRIBED ARE MICRO TEACHING, VIDEO-TAPING, TIME-LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY, CLINICAL TEACHING…

A Minicourse on Flanders' Interaction Analysis was adapted and re-developed for use in West German teacher training institutions, and evaluated in several studies with pre- and inservice teachers. The Minicourse incorporates the microteaching components of discrimination training, laboratory teaching experience, and feedback. The results of four…

Classroom behavior of elementary level teachers who display contrasting styles of socialization was analyzed. The Classroom Management Questionnaire, an instrument designed to measure socialization style as derived from Aronfreed's Induction-Sensitization Paradigm, was administered to a sample of elementary teachers. Those scoring one standard…

In "A Case Study of an Educational Innovation: the History of Flanders Interaction Analysis System" (Flanders and Amidon, 1981), the research, development, dissemination, and utilization of the system is described. The parallels between the development and use of the system and the development of more recent educational innovations are…

TO DETERMINE WHAT EFFECTS A STUDENT TEACHER'S COURSE WORK HAS ON HIS ACTUAL CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR, 22 STUDENT TEACHERS WERE GIVEN 90 HOURS OF OBSERVATION AND BEHAVIOR TRAINING, WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE FLANDERS SYSTEM OF INTERACTION ANALYSIS.

The objective of this study was to determine whether there were verbal interaction differences between junior/community college and university settings and among disciplines. Theoretically, student achievement and student attitudes are influenced by the types of verbal interactions taking place within classrooms. Forty-eight different classes…

The Miniaturized Interaction Analysis System (Mini-TIA) was developed to permit improved analysis of classroom communication in conjunction with video taping. Each of seven verbal event categories is subdivided into two categories according to the nature of the nonverbal events paralleling them. Integrated into the system are (1) defined verbal…

Toward providing administrators more convenient classroom observation techniques, this article describes how to use the Flanders' Interaction Analysis System (which encodes classroom verbal behavior) with microcomputers and videotaping. (JW)
