Teaching Methods and Time on Task in Junior Classrooms.

Croll, Paul; Moses, Diana

Educational Research, v30 n2 p90-97 Jun 1988

Data derived from observation of 32 classrooms (eight- and nine-year-olds) are analyzed to consider the relationship between teaching methods and the amount of class time pupils spend on curriculum tasks. Results indicate that classrooms with higher levels of whole-class interaction have higher levels of pupil time on task, even during periods of individual activity. (Author/CH)
