Abstract

The Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test was administered to secondary school students, and experimental group teachers were informed of results. A dyadic interaction analysis of teacher questions, categorized on the operations dimension of Guilford’s Structure of the Intellect, was recorded in experimental and control classes. Analysis, using ANOVA, suggests teachers interact differently with students who have visual motor difficulties (despite not having these children explicitly identified) than they do with ‘normal’ children. The data further suggest teacher knowledge of the prescence of some children with visual motor difficulties affects the type of question teachers ask of all students in their classroom.
