This document outlines the objectives, theoretical framework, methodology, and limitations of a research study exploring patterns of student-teacher interaction in elementary public schools in Lebanon and how these interactions relate to student attitudes toward school. The study will use a multiple case study design combining qualitative interviews and observations of teachers with quantitative student questionnaires to understand classroom environments from the perspectives of students, teachers, and an outside observer. Analysis will involve within-case and cross-case comparisons to identify patterns in expectations, feedback, and use of student ideas.
