The main objective of the proposed study was to explore Teacher--Student verbal interaction patterns at tertiary level education in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan using Flanders' Interaction Analysis system. This study was significant because its findings and conclusions may stimulate teachers to improve their teaching behaviour in…

VIC is a computer program for the analysis of verbal interaction category systems, especially the Flanders interaction analysis system. The observer codes verbal behavior on coding sheets for later machine scoring. A matrix is produced by the program showing the number and percentages of times that a particular cell describes classroom behavior.…

Lists and explains categories for Flanders system, Verbal system, and one revision of each. (RT)

A study was designed to determine whether the presence or absence of a classroom observer and the prior knowledge or lack of knowledge that an observation was to occur would affect the verbal behavior of teachers as measured by the Flanders System of Interaction Analysis. The variables were dichotomized yielding a 2 x 2 x 2 experimental design…

Explains the general concept and technology of interaction analysis, looks at a widely used system as an example of the field" and introduces a new technique. (Author/AA)

Principals, this author says, must allow teachers to appraise themselves. Introducing teachers to observation systems and inviting them to participate will give them the impetus to improve their teaching through increased self-knowledge. (Editor)

Persons interested in examining and improving instruction in the schools have long been aware of the need for more objective techniques to examine instructional processes. Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories provide an objective technique appropriate for studying the verbal, student-teacher interaction in classrooms; it can be applied in…

This paper focuses on three methods that have been and are being used to help teachers become more facilitative: interaction analysis, human relations training, and microcounseling. The application of the Flanders System of Interaction Analysis to the vocational-technical education setting is described. (CT)

The rationale of the Observation Schedule and Record (OScAR) is described, and research is reported to show the extent to which the form fulfills its purposes. In order to provide objective, reliable, and valid information about the teaching process, this classroom observation schedule is used to record the frequency of occurrence of 42 teacher…

Evaluation of effective classroom teaching has long plagued school supervisors and administrators. Rating is generally done with criteria which varies according to the educational objectives of the rater as well as with his subjective impressions of the staff member being rated. Counselor Educators are faced with a similar problem when attempting…

This investigation was designed to determine the effects of a perceptual modeling concept on the verbal behaviors of student teachers in their student teaching experience. The major objectives were 1) to determine the effects on verbal behavior of a videotape versus a verbal presentation of an interaction analysis system, and 2) to identify those…

Presents a computer program developed at the University of Cincinnati to transpose and compute sets of raw data from the Flanders' Interaction Analysis, used in investigating classroom teaching behavior. The program is included and its use with student teachers is discussed. (RAO)

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of training teachers in the use of strategies for content development through classroom communication behaviors, to determine the discriminatory power of the Content Analysis System, and to describe some of the relationships of content development characteristics and interaction…
