A good measure of a behavioral process (how behavior unfolds over time) would be whether students look at the teacher when she is speaking, as it reflects ongoing student engagement. A good measure of a behavioral product (the outcome of a behavior) would be student test grades, as they quantify academic performance resulting from classroom behavior.  The "process" is the observed behavior that has an effect on the "product" (the test grades.)
