Verbal Clarifying Behaviors, Mathematics Students Participation, Attitudes.
Smith, Lyle R.
School Science and Mathematics, v87 n1 p40-49 Jan 1987
Describes a study which examined the combined effects of student participation and of more realistic levels of vagueness terms (incertainty and bluffing terms) on student achievement and attitudes. One conclusion based on sixth-grade students (N=96) responses suggests that relatively low levels of teacher uncertainty and bluffing can influence student perceptions. (ML)
