Classroom Interaction Process of teachers and students at Pre-University level

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to assess the interaction process of 44 Pre-University teachers from Government and Private Colleges (Arts and Science streams) in Bengaluru. Flanders’ Interaction Analysis Categories System by Ned Flanders (1970) was used to understand the interaction process of Pre- University lecturers. The results revealed that the classroom interaction was teacher-centric compared to learner-centric. The teachers’ role was more of an information giver than a facilitator. The students’ participation in the learning process was found passive. The implications of the study are discussed.
