Abstract

Real-time interactions between teacher and students in the classroom are important for teacher well-being and student achievement. The complexity of educational research calls for within-person research looking into dynamics over time. However, time-series research in education is scarce.
The current paper illustrates the steps in decomposing time-series into relevant indices to describe the dynamics in teacher-student interactions in terms of behavioral observations and physiology to capture and study interactional processes in the classroom.
Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics (CAID) was used to observe interpersonal behaviors from video recordings and heart rate was added as a robust physiological measure to get insight into the teachers’ physiological activation underlying teacher and student behavior.
Five steps in time-series analysis are illustrated and discussed.
