Effects of Teacher Wait Time on Discourse Characteristics in Mathematics and Language Arts Classes.
Tobin, Kenneth
American Educational Research Journal, v23 n2 p191-200 Sum 1986
Sixth- and seventh-grade teachers were trained to maintain an average teacher wait time of three to five seconds during mathematics and language arts lessons. Longer waits were associated with higher achievement, improved teacher and student discourse, and greater time spent in cognitive processing. (GDC)
