| dc.description.abstract | This study examines the factors that influence classroom practice and traces the network of inter-connections that exist between them. Case studies show that sociohistorical, contextual, and internal factors are all instrumental in shaping the nature and structure of classroom transactions. The importance of factors such as the nature of the subject matter, curriculum aims, school climate, facilities and equipment, communication of information (diffusion), teacher reorientation, teacher's perception of aims and content, teaching styles, and age and ability of pupils are explored and their relative influence discussed. Findings are compared with other research results and implications for the Barbados situation are noted | |
