Title: How do teacher expectations affect student success? What will be an ideal ... Post by: nomejodas on Mar 17, 2018 In a classic research study, Rosenthal and Jacobson (1968) found that teachers' expectations of student success were self-fulfilling prophecies. When teachers were told that certain students in their classrooms were going to bloom intellectually in the coming year, those chosen children showed increases in their IQ scores. The findings of subsequent research have been mixed, but it may be that teacher expectations may affect student self-esteem, motivation, and expectations for success. This has serious implications for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. If teachers have lower expectations for success in these children, they may spend less time encouraging and interacting with them. This may result in a Pygmalion effect in the classroom. During parallel play, Phil and Lil would intently watch each other play but would not directly interact. During simple social play, Phil and Lil would engage in similar activities (e.g., each building a sand castle) and would talk and/or smile at each other. During cooperative play, Phil and Lil would directly interact with each other during some organized activity (e.g., playing tag with each other). In middle childhood, control begins to be transferred from parent to child. This transition period is known as co-regulation. Generally, schools and peers take on increased importance in the child's life, yet most children report that parents continue to be an importance source of emotional support. Children who experience divorce are more likely to have long-term problems if the parents do not agree on child-rearing issues. However, parental conflict appears to affect child well-being more so than family structure, per se. Maternal employment, long feared to have severe negative consequences for children, appears to not have such dramatic negative effects. Some research shows that children whose mothers work outside the home are better adjusted than those whose mothers work in the home. Mothers who work outside the home are positive role models for both male and female children. In particular, daughters of employed women set high expectations for themselves, and both male and female children of employed mothers hold less rigid gender-role stereotypes. The textbook points out three emotional regulation strategies employed by older children: a) Children will begin to regulate their own emotions more and rely less on others/adults to help them with this skill. b) Children will rely more on mental strategies to control their emotional states. c) Children more accurately match the strategies for regulating emotions with the particular setting in which the emotion occurs. Excellent answers will list and give an example of all three of these strategies. |
