Berkey, Debra S. – 1986
This study examined the effects of high, mixed, and low rates of specified sequenced teacher behaviors (specific observation followed by reinforcement) engaged in by elementary school teachers on the academic learning time-physical education (ALT-PE) of students. The high rate was defined as teacher engagement in five per minute or more episodes…

Moore, JoAnne E. – 1983
Collecting time-on-task data is necessary in order to research methods for increasing student time-on-task and to provide feedback to teachers on what teaching behaviors produce high levels of on-task behaviors in students. A student and a teacher behavior data collection instrument developed for research in the area of academic learning time is…

Recent teacher effectiveness research reveals that teachers of basic skills are more likely to use monitoring and reactive-corrective behaviors. The concept of teaching as assisting consists of a teacher's ability to: (1) create an environment conducive to learning for all children; (2) understand that the instructional responsibility lies with…
