An educational psychologist wanted to investigate the impact of classroom seating arrangements on off-task behaviour in secondary school students. They compared students who were taught in traditional rows of individual desks with students who were taught in clusters of group tables. The students were observed during their Year 10 science practical lesson.
Based on the scenario above, suggest two operationalised behavioural categories the psychologist could use in their observation of off-task behaviour. Explain how the psychologist could have carried out this observation.
