Signal Systems of Lesson Settings and the Task-Related Behavior of Preschool Children

Kounin, Jacob S.; Gump, Paul V.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 66, 4, 554-62, Aug 74

Teachers were videotaped teaching lessons. Lessons were seen as signal systems to participants. These signal systems were characterized along dimensions of continuity, insulation, and intrusiveness. Task involvement was used as the criterion. Results indicate most successful to least successful lessons, based on signal systems. (Author/SE)
