This week, I observed how students’ posture and positioning affected their overall class participation. I looked at the correlation between characteristics, such as slouching forward\/back and straight sitting to the amount of questions answered in class. I also collected data on whether the student was facing Dr. Sample and if they were cross legged. The data is as follows.<\/p>\n
Total Amount of Questions Answered: 28<\/p>\n
Slouched Forward: 13 (46.4%)<\/p>\n
Slouched Back: 9 (32.1%)<\/p>\n
Straight Sitting: 6 (21.4%)<\/p>\n
________________________________________<\/p>\n
Facing Professor: 12 (42.8%)<\/p>\n
Cross Legged: 8 (28.5%)<\/p>\n
Based on the data, it seems like students who were slouched forward as well as facing the professor were more likely to answer questions. In addition, I found it interesting that students who were slouched back were more likely to answer questions than those sitting up straight. I would guess that this is most likely because people usually do not practice perfect posture anywhere.<\/p>\n
