Classroom Context and Student Ability as Influences on Teacher Perceptions of Classroom Control.

Cooper, Harris M.; And Others

American Educational Research Journal, v16 n2 p189-96 Spr 1979

Teachers' perceptions of personal classroom control with high- and low-ability students were examined, using five hypothetical classroom contexts. Results indicated that high ability students were perceived as more controllable than low-ability students, and teacher-initiated interactions as providing more control than student-initiated interactions.
