The study investigated pupil visual attending behavior toward the teacher within naturalistic classroom settings. Eight teachers in traditional classroom settings were asked to select four pupils, subsequently labeled accepted, indifferent, concerned, and rejected. Both teacher lecturing behavior time and pupil visual attending behavior toward the teacher were recorded. Significant differences were found on pupil visual attending behavior between pupil categories, and a significant two‐way interaction was found for visual attending behavior with pupil sex and category as main effects. The importance of contextually designed studies of teacher‐pupil behavior exchange is discussed.
