We know that if a teacher has low expectations of a child and communicates these in interactions, this could lead to a negative self concept. Studies show that a self fulfilling prophecy is likely to occur when children are streamed.as
Research shows that teachers are more likely to label middle class children as 'bright and well behaved' but working class children as 'naughty and disruptive'. Following the label being attached on the child is self fulfilling prophecy, this is when the child will respond and act according to the label being placed on them, so a middle class student will act well behaved and complete the work that is set whereas the working class student will disrupt and not complete the work set and therefore not do well in exams. This shows that labeling working and middle class students affects the educational achievements because of their social class.However George H. Mead can be criticised by material/cultural deprivation. Material deprivation is when the child doesn't have the right equipment for school e.g. books, and cultural deprivation is when the children
The self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that comes true simply by it being made, which leads to a student’s underachievement. If teachers have low expectations of certain children and they are aware of these expectations, these children may develop a negative self-concept. They may come to see themselves as failures and give up trying, thereby fulfilling their original prophecy and leading to underachievement. Studies show that self-fulfilling prophecy is particularly less likely to occur when children are streamed. Streaming involves separating children into different ability groups or classes called 'streams'.
t identifies two groups that are similar and comparisons are made- it seeks to discover cause and effect, avoids artificiality, can be used to study past events, no ethical problems . If studying labelling in schools which is a social process of teachers attaching positive or negative labels to students and students also doing this to teachers, this is best understood in the context of social interaction in the classroom. This would eliminate lab experimentation and would be favoured by interactionists using a field experiment approach. Main ideas concepts Some researchers have used laboratory experiments-Harvey and Stains, they looked at whether teachers had preconceived ideas about pupils of different social classes. The study indicated labelling goes on and that the labels are used to pre-judge pupils potential.
Some teachers like to keep the ground rules on display throughout the course to remind learners of behaviour expectations; this is personal choice and may be considered as demeaning by some learner groups. Some ground rules cannot be negotiated and if learners do not suggest them, it is the responsibility of the teacher to make sure they are
How can parents reclaim their position as part of the school community? Group 2: Lack of competence on the part of a teacher has a negative impact on the way learners view their teacher and also often results in discipline problems among learners. Suggest ways in which a teacher can be regarded as a quality and effective teacher providing examples in your argument. Group 3: Teaching also goes hand-in- hand with the manner in which you conduct yourself as a teacher because you have to develop a certain atmosphere and quality when standing in front of your learners in a classroom. Discuss a situation/s in which you experienced your own school teacher displaying qualities of an effective teacher.
Therefore the pupil being sent to the head teacher and being punished for this would be them receiving justice. This may be the pupil receiving detention and having to apologise to the individual or depending of the severity of the situation possibly being excluded or spoken to by the police. Autonomy: Autonomy is the freedom to make their own choices and decisions in relation to their own care. This is important as it gives the individual independence, and allowing them to base their choices on their own beliefs and motives, meaning that their differences aren’t meaning that they are being discriminated against. As well as this it also allows them to take moral responsibility for their own actions.
When effective communication is missing, this can cause teachers to misunderstand or be ignorant of the child’s needs; further more pupils may not feel listened too. This could result in the pupil feeling worried or angry. Teachers need to form positive approach and effective communication to help children understand the boundaries expected of them. Sharing information means parents develop a clear appreciation of their child’s true strengths, showing the child that parent and teacher both want the ultimate goal for the child, leaving the child to feel comfortable about making mistakes and acting accordingly to put them right and voicing this to the teachers to allow teachers to help in areas needed. The two way key effective communications are verbal and nonverbal.
The only negative I see in the self-contained setting is the fact that the kids are sometimes cut off from the general education students. Socializing and interacting with other students is very important during a student’s educational experience. This is the time where kids learn to be tolerant of other people’s differences and learn to work with others. The inclusive classroom to me should only be prescribed on a case by case basis. I feel it is a good idea in theory but in some cases it is just not a reasonable solution to me.
Individuals whose deviance becomes known may be more likely to continue in a deviant path because their previous peer circle has deemed them as ‘deviant’ and has ostracized the individual from their peer circle. In turn, because their peers have labeled an individual, they will be more likely to behave in a deviant fashion. Labeling can also insulate individuals from deviant behavior through positive labels. In a similar fashion, teachers that label their students are likely to find that their expectations will impact end of year school outcomes. Specifically, teachers that have labeled their students as ‘slow’ or of below average intelligence will find that their students will perform to the teacher’s expectations.
