A review of the literature relating to waiting revealed that there was insufficient understanding of the social meaning of waiting in school. To expand this understanding a descriptive study of waiting was conducted in two elementary school classrooms using unstructured observation. The data from the observations comprises 31 single-spaced pages in Appendix B of this dissertation. / The data analysis revealed that waiting is largely a contextual variable. Several different kinds of time, social lessons, and identities are presented along with some appearances of waiting in these contexts. Some implications of waiting for socialization and cultural reproduction are discussed, and some suggestions for further research are presented. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 44-10, Section: A, page: 2977. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
