For example, the three-code sequence tlv indicates that the teacher (t) asks a labeling question (l) on a vocabulary concept(v; e.g., “Look at this picture and tell what you learned about pour.”)Similarly, a tav code would reflect that the teacher (t) is makingassociations/connections (a) between vocabulary concepts (v; e.g.,“Would there be light outside if there were a storm? Why or why not?”).
MOOSES allows computation of the event frequency and duration of each three-letter code and of the ability to restructure the codes to analyze any of the respective areas of emphasis (e.g., inter-actor only; Tapp et al., 1995). Duration in the MOOSESTM systemis identified as an independent variable. The event or observation(e.g., teacher labeling vocabulary) is the time from the earliest start
