Education in Prince Edward County, Virginia, 1953-1993

Elementary School Social Climate and School Achievement
The present study investigates the relationships among a variety of school-level climate variables and mean school achievement in a random, sample of Michigan elementary schools. School-level SES, racial composition and climate were each highly related to mean school achievement; only a small proportion of the between-school variance in achievement is explained by SES and racial composition after the effect of school climate is removed. The clima…

Pygmalion in the Classroom: Teacher Expectation and Pupils' Intellectual Development
The 'Pygmalion phenomenon' is the self-fulfilling prophecy embedded in teachers' expectations. Simply put, when teachers expect students to do well and show intellectual growth, they do; when teachers do not have such expectations, performance and growth are not encouraged and may in fact be discouraged in a variety of ways. Research suggests that our expectations strongly influence the performance of those around us from the members of our footb…

The Social Roles of Teachers and Pupil Achievement
The nature of the teacher's role in relation to his pupils is a significant part of the learning situation. A quantitative analysis of the relationship between a controlled sample of 66 history teachers and their students shows that those teachers who maintain congenial democratic relationships teach significantly less history information than those who assume more autocratic roles. This may result from the fact that students in American schools …
