An Analysis of Teacher Rating Differences Between First-Grade and Mentally Retarded Children: Were Expectancy Biases Involved?
Thurman, Richard L.; And Others
Educational Research Quarterly, v7 n1 p7-14 Spr 1982
Forty-five teachers of educable mentally retarded (EMR) students and 34 first-grade teachers rated their students' mathematical abilities on a seven-point scale. The EMR teachers rated their students significantly lower than did first-grade teachers, although they performed comparably on the Peabody Mathematics Readiness Test. (Author/LC)
