What You See Is What You Get--Consistency, Persistency, and Mediocrity in Classrooms.

Sirotnik, Kenneth A.

Harvard Educational Review, v53 n1 p16-31 Feb 1983

Based on data from over 1,000 elementary-secondary classrooms reported in "A Study of Schooling," the author finds little variety in teaching practices across schools. The majority of class time is spent in teachers lecturing to the class or in students working on written assignments. (Author/SK)
