Evaluators' perceptions of teachers' use of behavior alteration techniques

Abstract
Research on teachers' communication of power in the classroom has focused on message based strategies that teachers and students perceive to influence students to engage in on‐task behaviors. The present study sought to determine which of these message based strategies evaluators of teachers perceive are commonly used by good, average, and poor teachers. This study also sought to determine if the strategies that evaluators find commonly used by teachers are similar to those reported by teachers and students.
