Question 18

ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES for attending skills:

Answer 18

1. Staying seated.
   - Seat the learner and RECORD the DURATION of time the learner remains seated.
2. Looking at the teacher.
   - Say the learner’s name in a commanding voice and RECORD whether the student MAKES EYE CONTACT.
3. Keeping hands in lap.
   - Prompt the student to put his hands in his lap and RECORD the DURATION of time the student’s hands remain in that position.
4. Looking at objects.
   - Place several objects on a table and say, “Look at this.” Immediately following the command, move a finger from in front of the learner’s eye to one of the objects and record whether the student looked at the object.

Teachers often assess attending skills for a minimum
of three sessions.
