- Summary:
-
To test the effect of teacher expectation on pupil achievement, subjects in 24 classrooms, grades 1-6, a) completed the Metropolitan Analysis of Learning Potential and the Metropolitan Achievement Test; b) completed a questionnaire regarding perceptions of teachers' differential expectations and treatment of students; and c) were ranked by their teachers according to their expected achievement growth during the year. Observers made regulars visits to the classrooms to measure pupil-teacher interactions. The five experimental hypotheses tested were a) experimental subjects will perform better on the ability posttest than the control subjects; b) experimental subjects will score higher on the achievement posttest than the control subjects; c)experimental subjects in the middle ability range will show greater improvement than the control subjects in the same ability range; d) experimental subjects will receive significantly different instruction than the control subjects as measured by independent observers; and e) pupils will report significantly different treatment of control and experimental subjects. Analysis of the collected data shows no significant difference between the control and experimental groups on ability and achievement posttests and suggests rejection of hypotheses "a,""b,""c," and e." Although there was a difference in the instruction received by different ability groups, there was no difference between that received by control and experimental subjects in the same ability grouping, and hypothesis "d" was rejected as untestable.
