Causal Influence of Teachers' Expectations on Children's Academic Performance; A Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis
Crano, William D.; Mellon, Phyllis M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 1, 39-49, Feb 78
In a 4-year longitudinal study of 4,300 British elementary school children, teachers' expectations influenced children's achievement to an extent appreciably exceeding that to which children's performance impinged on teachers' attitudes. Teachers' evaluations of children's social performance affected later achievement to an extent exceeding that attributable to academic expectations. (Author/GDC)
