The Spanish Syntax Of The Pre-School Spanish American: The Case Of New Mexican Five-Year Old Children, MaríA Estela Brisk

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Some Ethical Problems In Research On Human Subjects., F. Jaime Arellano-Galdames

A Study Of Relationships Between Teacher Classroom Behavior And Concurrent Student Interest In Classroom Activities, Earl Mcgrath Douglas

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Although it is widely conceded among educators that the problem of student interest and involvement in ongoing classroom activities is a crucial one, it has received little attention from researchers. This study was initiated to investigate the extent of student interest displayed in ongoing classroom activities, and to determine whether student interest may be related to certain kinds of behavior exhibited by their teachers. Five elementary classrooms were observed for one full school day. The behavior of the teacher and that of nine students, selected at random, was recorded in each classroom.
