Popis: This experimental study examined whether solicitation pattern, type of example, and student response influence the classroom behavior, commitment to discussion and concept attainment of high school social studies students. Participating teachers taught two concept application lessons according to detailed plans provided by the researcher. The classroom behaviors, inspection of stimulus material and attention to discussion were recorded as they occurred by the researcher on a low inference observation” system. Commitment was measured by a Thurstone successive intervals scale and concept learning by a test constructed for the experiment. Solicitation pattern had a significant effect on inspection and attention behaviors. Solicitation pattern interacted with response mode to exert a significant influence on commitment to discussion. Response sequence interacted with type of example to affect concept learning.
