Vocal Teachers, Silent Pupils? Life in Botswana Classrooms.

Fuller, Bruce; Snyder, Conrad W., Jr.

Comparative Education Review, v35 n2 p274-94 May 1991

Observation in 281 elementary and junior secondary classrooms and interview with teachers found large variation in communication behaviors of Botswana teachers, related to subject matter, presence of a textbook, and school size. Much class time was spent on choral recitation, which was positively related to expatriate staff and pupil persistence. (SV)
