pedagogy

This measure evaluates educators’ approaches to interacting with children in common school-based situations. The Assessment of Educational Interaction Strategies With Children is intended to characterize whether a respondent tends to prioritize relational/emotional engagement or instructional and behavioral structure.

The instrument includes 30 items and takes about 6 minutes to complete. Respondents rate brief scenarios, and results are typically used to inform consultation, training, or supervision by identifying predominant interaction patterns and potential targets for professional development.

The Assessment of Educational Interaction Strategies With Children is attributed to D. P. Ausubel and is generally interpreted as a descriptive indicator of interaction style rather than a diagnostic tool.
