Abstract

This chapter presents the results of a professional development program for
kindergarten and elementary teachers, aimed to foster teacher-student
interactions in science lessons. Seven teachers from a private school in Palmira
participated in the study. The program incorporated a workshop, as well as
four cycles of classroom observations and individual coaching to the teachers.
The design consisted on one-group pretest-posttest using a double pretest.
The data were analyzed using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. We found
statistically significant improvement on instructional support provided by the
teachers, especially in the quality of feedback and language modeling
dimensions.
