Interaction Analysis: Selected Papers.

This is the third in a series on "Supervisory Strategies in Clinical Experiences." It contains three papers. The first, "Interaction Analysis in Teacher Education: A Review of Studies," by Norma Furst, concentrates on those studies which were designed to teach the Flanders behavior recording technique to preservice educators. These are divided into early studies, attitude studies, the Ohio State University study, and studies in secondary education programs, with an additional section on future research areas. The second paper, "Classroom Observation Systems in Preparing School Personnel," by J. T. Sandefur and Alex A. Bressler, starts by setting out the case for observation systems in evaluating teacher effectiveness and by defining the terms used. Selected classroom observation systems are described, including affective systems, cognitive systems, and multidimensional systems. The third paper, "Supervisory Conferences in Selected Institutions," by Donald J. Johnston, describes four supervisory conference procedures resulting from a study carried out by the author and four consultants. Four supervisory conferences were recorded on videotape at each of four universities (Temple, UCLA, Stanford, and the University of Illinois) and analyzed to identify supervisor behaviors and institutional characteristics.
