| Abstract | This paper contains the major comparative findings of an investigation undertaken to survey and precisely describe a number of classroom behaviors occurring within the Kindgom of Nepal and to determine how those behaviors differed from comparable U.S. classroom behaviors. Comparisons were made using the Beeby taxonomy of educational stages and Flanders interaction analysis categories. Some of the findings indicated that: (1) Nepalese students did not express their own ideas and opinions very frequently, and teachers made little use of student ideas. Nepalese teaching observed conformed to what many educators would consider to be traditional, teacher-dominated classes, interspersed with periods of recitation. (2) Nepalese teachers were found to focus more directly upon the presentation of content matter than did U.S. teachers. (3) U.S. teachers tended to ask longer questions, spent greater percentages of time giving directions, and generally exhibited more extended "indirect" as well as "direct" teacher influence than did corresponding Nepalese teachers. (4) The extent of "drill" was found to be similar in most comparable Nepalese and U.S. classes, as was the percentage of time students talked in response to teacher and the ratio of student and teacher talk. The study did not determine whether similarities and differences are unique to Nepal and the U.S. or whether they are more generally descriptive of behavioral similarities and differences between industrialized and "underdeveloped" countries, between western and Asian cultures, or between other permutations of social systems around the world.
