Enthusiasm is a vital quality possessed by effective teachers and it can be measured in

various ways. Many experts claim students who are taught by enthusiastic teachers are proven

to have higher academic achievement and enjoy a more positive school environment. An

experiment was conducted to measure if an enthusiastic behavior (including eye contact, facial

expressions, vocalization, gestures, and movement) occurred simultaneously with another

enthusiastic behavior and if these behaviors occur sequentially. The subjects were considered

exceptional teachers and were videotaped during two normal class sessions. The researchers

scored the teachers in ten-second snapshots, which was further divided into two-second

intervals. In these two-second intervals, any enthusiastic behaviors were recorded in the order

they occurred. The data indicated the percentages of enthusiastic behaviors that were

observed: vocalization (90.9%), eye contact (76.5%), gestures (66.5%), movement (55.8%), and

facial expression (15.2%). Data also indicated that the most dominant sequential occurrence

was EC-V-G preceding M (eye contact, vocalization, gesture, then movement).
