Tyson (1988) conducted a naturalistic descriptive case study of one high
school choral director focusing on the master teacher's verbal teaching behaviors
in class rehearsal. The purpose of the study was to document the teaching of an
effective choral music educator based on the definition of "effectiveness" in the
literature. The problem was to determine verbal teaching activities with sub-
problems as follows: (1) what is the content and organization of the presentation
of subject-based information; (2) what instructional methods and techniques of
the master teacher can be documented through observation; (3) what are the
characteristics of an observational tool suitable for observation; and (4) how are
administrative responsibilities integrated into the conduct of instruction?
Tyson (1988) categorized instructional function events as activities of the
director following identification of a choral problem, verbally analyzed, and
explained, then modeled as a solution, usually accomplished through singing. A
model as one of the instructor's verbal behaviors falling under this category.
Tyson further delineated modeling in two distinct categories. Positive modeling
is the demonstration of acceptable performance either teacher-generated, or
generated by the student at the teacher's request. Conversely, negative modeling
is an instructor's demonstration of unacceptable performance.
Five rehearsals were video-taped. Detailed and systematic transcription
conventions were developed and applied by the researcher using those of GIonzo
(1977) and Overturf (1985) as resources. Each verbal comment made by the
director was transcribed one verbal event per numbered line. Each numbered line
was categorized by code assigning comments to categories and descriptors29
