A college teacher's verbal behavior can be measured. Types of classroom interaction can be tallied and analyzed, either by an observer in the classroom or by viewing and listening to video tapes. Observational systems such as Flanders' Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC) and the Florida Taxonomy of Cognitive Behavior (FTCB) can be used for verbal ratings. Teacher behavior can also be modified. When the teacher selects his own instructional goals or strategy, teaches, and then receives feedback on his performance, that performance can be modified or changed in future sessions. These are our conclusions based upon an experiment with videotaping and classroom verbal rating systems to induce more "higher level" questioning by instructors in introductory physics laboratories.
