Children who ranked of average rankings in the lowest third of each classroom will ecperience next obervations. Observers recorded target children’s behaviour towards behavioral measures and sociometric measure in three different conditions at pretsest, posttest and follow-up. Thus, they were able to grasp the changes of target children’s behaviours. But this approach is time-consuming, effortlessly as well as at a risk of deviation.
