Abstract

The quality of teacher interaction is essential for the effectiveness of professional learning communities (PLCs). The current study was based on dynamic systems theory to grasp the complexity of teacher interaction. We examined attractor states and attractor sequences in interaction in two teacher PLCs, using state space grids and orbital decomposition. Results reveal more high-quality attractors in PLC2 than in PLC1. The poster illustrates these analyses and discusses implications and directions for further research.
