Kugle, C. L. – 1978
The possibility that "coder drift" may be a source of bias in classroom observation systems was investigated in two parallel experiments using the Flanders System of Interaction Analysis.

WHEN THEY INDIVIDUALIZE READING INSTRUCTION, TEACHERS SHOULD REALIZE THAT CHILDREN ARE VERY DIFFERENT AND THAT CONTINUOUS APPRAISAL OF EACH CHILD'S ATTRIBUTES AND NEEDS IS IMPERATIVE. TEACHERS SHOULD UTILIZE INFORMAL EVALUATIVE TECHNIQUES FOR APPRAISING GROWTH IN READING SKILLS. READINESS FOR BEGINNING READING IS DETERMINED BY OBSERVING PERSONAL…
