An Experiment Examined the Effects of Classroom Type (Walled, Open-Air)

Multiple Choice

An experiment examined the effects of classroom type (walled, open-air) and teaching approach (authoritarian, democratic) on students' learning.

When students were taught by a democratic teacher, those in open-air classrooms performed significantly better than those in walled classrooms. What type of interaction effect is described in this example?

A) divergent interaction
B) moderated interaction
C) crossover interaction
D) mixed interaction
E) not enough information
