Individualized Classroom scoring analysis system(in CLASS) . The intraclass interaction coeffcients with correlation and regression analysis of the plots was analyzed in detail. Alpha scores were calculated based on teacher-student interaction scores on a point scale of 1-7. Statistical and ANOVA variance analysis of graphs obtained with total number of participants was analyzed in detail. Various activities and tasks were given to children with analysis of learning potential in schools. Conflict and aggression was analyzed in detail with scoring details of the understanding of the educational requirements and essential criterion for obtaining the necessary details in life.
