Abstract

The rapid growth of online education provides massive behavioral data for classroom behavior research. To analyse the empirical research of classroom behavior, this article retrieved 124 empirical researches of classroom behavior from Web of Science, EBSCO, and CNKI. After statistical analysis, the results were as follows: (1) The empirical research on classroom behavior has increased rapidly. (2) The topics focused on the research of classroom behavior influencing factors and classroom behavior characteristics. (3) The research mostly used manual acquisition for data collection and were mainly quantitative researches. (4) Most of the researches centered on primary and secondary school subjects with incomplete overviews of school divisions and disciplines. (5) Empirical research of classroom behavior provided reference for mining the law of classroom behavior and improving classroom teaching. Therefore, the article called for a more sophisticated approach to empirical research which combines online education and complex classroom behaviors.
