Abstract
The purposes of this study were to determine the teacher-pupil interaction patterns present in one hundred and twenty classes in Jewish elementary schools in the Philadelphia - Camden area. This study attempts 1) to determine whether there are different interaction patterns in teaching different subjects in the Jewish school; 2) to determine what differences, if any, in interaction patterns obtained among the various grade levels; 3) to determine whether certain verbal patterns are characteristic of superior teachers, as designated by superiors, as compared to poor teachers; and 4) to determine whether there is any relationship between "good" teachers, as rated by a superior and their teaching patterns as measured by Interaction Analysis.
