The use of online interactive teaching mode in university music teaching under the background of informationization
This research method uses vocal recognition, classroom interaction analysis and social network analysis theory to cluster audio data through the process of data collection and feature extraction, active speech detection and speaker change detection, and finally quantifies and visualizes classroom data based on S-T analysis and social network analysis methods, and calculates corresponding indicators for qualitative analysis. After reforming the teaching mode, 80% of students expressed great satisfaction. The information-based teaching tools resulted in an overall upward trend in the grades of the three classes. In the middle and high score range of 80-89, Class 1 increased by 34%, Class 2 by 37%, and Class 3 by 28%, and all three classes showed a more significant increase. Regarding classroom interaction behaviors, teachers' verbal behavior rates decreased from 55.86% and 44.01% to 27.48%, while students' verbal behavior rates increased from 21.92% and 21.23% to 39.73%.

A Learning Analytics Approach to Investigating Factors Affecting EFL Students' Oral Performance in a Flipped Classroom
Flipped classrooms have been widely adopted and discussed by school teachers and researchers in the past decade. However, few studies have been conducted to formally evaluate the effectiveness of flipped classrooms in terms of improving EFL students' English oral presentation, not to mention investigating factors affecting their flipped learning outcomes. In this study, an online community-based flipped learning approach was proposed for an EFL oral presentation course; moreover, a learning analytics approach was used to analyze factors affecting the students' oral presentation outcomes. An 18-week research design was implemented with the online community-based flipped classroom using Facebook as the platform for facilitating and recording peer-to-peer interactions during the flipped learning process. In addition, the students' learning performance and perceptions were collected in 3 learning stages during the 18 weeks. The experimental results reveal positive effects of the online community-based flipped instruction over the conventional video-based instruction. That is, first, the online community-based flipped instruction using mobile devices can enhance students' English oral performance. Moreover, it was found that the high improvers had a significantly higher frequency of online participation, as well as more interactive behaviors and greater satisfaction with the flipped classroom than the low improvers. These results imply that the online community flipped classroom could not only provide learning materials and out-of-class learning for students, but could also help them become more responsible and autonomous in their learning and communication. These findings could be valuable references for those who intend to conduct effective flipped classrooms with an online community to facilitate students' before-class learning participation and to improve their in-class learning performance.

Teacher vision: expert and novice teachers' perception of problematic classroom management scenes
Visual expertise has been explored in numerous professions, but research on teachers' vision remains limited. Teachers' visual expertise is an important professional skill, particularly the ability to simultaneously perceive and interpret classroom situations for effective classroom management. This skill is complex and relies on an awareness of classroom events. Using eye tracking measurements and verbal think aloud, we investigated differences in how expert and novice teachers perceive problematic classroom scenes. Sixty-seven teachers participated, 35 experienced secondary school teachers (experts) and 32 teachers-in-training (novices). Participants viewed videos of authentic lessons and their eye movements were recorded as they verbalized thoughts about what they had seen in the lesson and how it was relevant to classroom management. Two different types of videos were viewed: lesson fragments showing (1) multiple events depicting disengaged students with no overt disruptions and (2) multiple events that included a prominent disruptive event affecting the class. Analysis of eye movements showed that novices' viewing was more dispersed whereas experts' was more focused. Irrespective of the video type, expert teachers focused their attention on areas where relevant information was available, while novice teachers' attention was more scattered across the classroom. Experts' perception appears to be more knowledge-driven whereas novices' appears more image-driven. Experts monitored more areas than novices, while novices skipped more areas than experts. Word usage also differed, showing that expertise was associated with a higher frequency of words referencing cognition, perception, and events than novices.

Conceptualization, Measurement, and Improvement of Classroom Processes: Standardized Observation Can Leverage Capacity
The authors advance an argument that placing observation of actual teaching as a central feature of accountability frameworks, teacher preparation, and basic science could result in substantial improvements in instruction and related social processes and a science of the production of teaching and teachers. Teachers' behavioral interactions with students can be (a) assessed observationally using standardized protocols, (b) analyzed systematically with regard to sources of error, (c) validated for predicting student learning, and (d) changed (improved) as a function of specific and aligned supports provided to teachers; exposure to such supports is predictive of greater student learning gains. These methods have considerable promise; along with measurement challenges, some of which pertain to psychometrics, efficiency, and costs, they merit attention, rigorous study, and substantial research investments.

Teaching through Interactions
Validating frameworks for understanding classroom processes that contribute to student learning and development is important to advance the scientific study of teaching. This article presents one such framework, Teaching through Interactions, which posits that teacher-student interactions are a central driver for student learning and organizes teacher-student interactions into three major domains. Results provide evidence that across 4,341 preschool to elementary classrooms (1) teacher-student classroom interactions comprise distinct emotional, organizational, and instructional domains; (2) the three-domain latent structure is a better fit to observational data than alternative one- and two-domain models of teacher-student classroom interactions; and (3) the three-domain structure is the best-fitting model across multiple data sets.

Measures of Classroom Quality in Prekindergarten and Children's Development of Academic, Language, and Social Skills
This study examined development of academic, language, and social skills among 4-year-olds in publicly supported prekindergarten (pre-K) programs in relation to 3 methods of measuring pre-K quality, which are as follows: (a) adherence to 9 standards of quality related to program infrastructure and design, (b) observations of the overall quality of classroom environments, and (c) observations of teachers' emotional and instructional interactions with children in classrooms. Participants were 2,439 children enrolled in 671 pre-K classrooms in 11 states. Adjusting for prior skill levels, child and family characteristics, program characteristics, and state, teachers' instructional interactions predicted academic and language skills and teachers' emotional interactions predicted teacher-reported social skills. Findings suggest that policies, program development, and professional development efforts that improve teacher — child interactions can facilitate children's school readiness.

A Structural Model of the Relationship Between Student-Faculty Interaction and Cognitive Skills Development Among College Students
Using structural equation modeling, this study attempted to untangle the underlying mechanisms among student-faculty interaction, classroom engagement, and cognitive skills development by examining the role played by students' academic selfchallenge and sense of belonging on the relationships among the variables. The study utilized data from the 2010 University of California Undergraduate Experience Survey and a sample of 5169 senior students across 10 campuses. This study found that student-faculty interaction is related to greater levels of classroom engagement, which in turn facilitates students' cognitive skills development and that students' academic self-challenge and sense of belonging mediate the relationship between faculty interaction and classroom engagement. Thus, the findings suggest that the pathways from student-faculty interaction to a desired college outcome seem more complex than those hypothesized in traditional college impact theories or models. The study discusses the theoretical and practical implications of the findings.

The impact of mathematics learning environment supported by error-analysis activities on classroom interaction
This study was designed to investigate the effect of mathematics learning environment supported by error-analysis activities on classroom interaction. To achieve this purpose, two classes of seventh grade students (aged 12-13 years) were randomly selected and were assigned into two groups; experimental (number of student=24) and control (number of students=24). The experimental group was exposed to error-analysis activities, whereas the control group studied the same mathematics content without any error-analysis activities. Moreover, two instruments were used to collect the data: an observation checklist including indicators of classroom interaction and a semi-structured interview, after ensuring their validity and reliability.
14 classes for each group were observed by two observers using an observation checklist. The findings of the study revealed that statistically significant differences were found between the rating means of classroom interaction of the two groups. Moreover, the qualitative analysis of the interviews revealed that the mathematics error-analysis activities contribute to improving the quality of teacher-student, student-student and student-content interaction. They enhance the quality of students’ responses, help students be more engaged in mathematics learning through social interaction and more active in oral communication, improve their classroom predications and discussions and support student-content interaction through sustaining error-analysis to be a learning behavior. Based on these findings, it was recommended that mathematics learning environment supported by error-analysis activities could be adopted as a teaching-learning strategy to improve classroom interaction, which enhances students’ mathematics learning in primary education.
