Thinking About Teachers!

For English-speaking children ages 5 to 10 years

Your child will watch a short video of a teacher and some students working on a class activity. Then, we'll ask your child a few questions about what happened in the video. Your child's responses to these questions will help us figure out how kids learn from the people around them!

We're interested in the factors children are sensitive to when they're learning from other people. In past work, it has been found that children pay attention to things like how much information teachers show, or how interesting the things are that they teach. But do children also think about how much teachers’ feedback is uniquely tailored to individual learners? Answering this question will help us understand more about the cognitive processes that help people learn from others around them starting in early childhood.
