Rates of Teacher Verbal Approval and Disapproval to Higher and Lower Ability Classes
Heller, Marc S.; White, Mary Alice
Journal of Educational Psychology, 67, 6, 796-800, Dec 75
Teachers emitted more disapprovals in lower ability classes than in higher ability classes; extra disapprovals in the former were predominantly of the managerial type. Teachers seldom praised pupils for behaving well socially, but approved of instructional behaviors more frequently than they disapproved of these behaviors. (Author/BJG)
