The major problem in the area of school education is to influence the classroom instructional process. It is only when the instructional process is improved, the benefits of new curricula, new textbooks and other new innovative ideas will bear fruits. The communication process of the teacher in the classroom has been found to be mainly responsible for the proper educational growth of the child. The verbal interaction between the teacher and the student creates the climate of freedom or restriction for the pupils in the classroom. In Indian Universities not much attention has been paid to studying and analysing the teacher's verbal behaviour. The Centre of Advanced Study in Education of the M. S. University, Baroda has rightly selected this neglected though important area of study. The investigations going on in the Centre and the studies sponsored by the Centre through the Co-operative Project on Productive Teaching are likely to throw adequate light on the dynamics of the instructional process in Indian Schools. It is hoped that the Centre will resist the temptation of adding new areas of studies and concentrate its efforts on this important area for a few years to come. Sustained studies in the area of classroom interaction will pave the way, it is hoped, to develop a rational theory of instruction.
