I am in the process of designing my doctoral dissertation. Part of it
will have to do with observing interactions in the classroom between
teachers and students of different ethnicities. I would be grateful for
direction on the following :
Q.1 Please direct me to relevant literature on classroom observation
methods and classroom interaction studies
Q.2 I am concerned that if teachers are aware of the specific purpose of
my observation i.e. their interaction with children from different
ethnicities, their behaviors might change. I plan to interview teachers
after completing the observations.
Please advise.
