instructor
should ask children questions like, "Where am I now? Where am I trying to go?
What am I trying to achieve? How can I get from here to there?" This type of

number of attempts students have to try a skill and the number of positive
teacher-student interactions.
• Duration Recording - correct answer measures amount of time teacher spends on
instructions, time spent on managing student activities, and time spent
managing the participation of students.
Group Time Sampling/Playcheck Recording - correct answer counts the number of
