A total of 12 trainees participated in that training.

A windows application of classroom observation (classroom observation instrument) was developed on a Windows tablet.

Trainees also watched US study guide videos of classroom observation instruction to practice using the classroom observation instrument. The purpose of the classroom observation and the overall aims of the study were also discussed.
