The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the differences between elementary, middle, and high school physical education classes in Korea based on teacher and student behavior and teacher-student interaction patterns. The subjects who participated in this study were fifteen certified full-time physical education teachers at selected…

Investigated was the relationship between verbal interaction of elementary science teachers with their students and students' creativity. Two populations were sampled from the elementary schools in Bangkok, Thailand. Eight teachers and 64 second grade students comprised the sample. Interaction was analyzed by the Flanders System. Creativity was…

To investigate the effects of interaction analysis feedback on the verbal behavior of student teachers, 40 college seniors enrolled in an elementary teaching program were randomly selected and divided into experimental and control groups. Following training in interaction analysis during an academic quarter, subjects were assigned to eight…

This latest in a series of studies (of conditions which support creative problemsolving activity of gifted children) attempted to assess the immediate impact of an inservice training program to promote inductive and nondirective teaching behaviors. Subjects were 160 teachers (124 who participated in the training program and 36 constituting a…

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…

This study is a systematic follow-up, undertaken by the Chicago Consortium, to evaluate the classroom performance of its graduates. Inferences about their effectiveness were made through assessments of their observed behavior, using the Classroom Observation Record (COR) and the Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC). Trained observers…

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)

Article provided guidelines for supervising teachers or supervisors to keep in mind when evaluating a student teacher. (Author/RK)

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference in the verbal responses and test responses of high school biology students as a result of training in higher level questioning of student teachers. The sample included two groups of 28 biology student teachers. The experimental group was instructed in the use of…

This article presents a scale for the measurement of teacher-provided levels of Meaning, an interpersonal process variable similar to the characteristic called Empathy by Carl Rogers. (Author)

This study assessed the stability of student/teacher interactional behavior over one academic year. A total of 52 classes with the same teacher were observed, and teaching behavior was quantified using the Cheffer Adaptation of Flanders Interaction Analysis System. Results are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to determine the significance of grade-level as a contributor to the variance of Flanders' Categories when corrected for appropriate measures of individual teacher characteristics. (Author)

An 11 category modified Flanders' interaction analysis system was developed for analyzing the verbal behavior of graduate student recitation teachers in an introductory college geology course. Data were collected from six recitation teachers and 423 students. The teachers were trained in the use of the system and analyzed tapes of their own…
