West, Christine; Wheldall, Kevin
British Educational Research Journal, v15 n2 p205-16 Jun 1989
Investigates the amount of time infant school children spend waiting for teacher attention while performing seatwork. Discusses implications of the findings for classroom practice. Suggests that the most advantageous method for securing teacher attention may be found in those classes that use a queue system rather than a hands-up signal. (KO)
