The expectancy effect of teacher and its inspireations to the vocational education reform of our country

20世纪60年代中期，美国心理学家罗森塔尔和雅歌布森等人的研究证实，教师在教育教学过程中对学生期望值的高低直接影响学生的学业成绩和学习的态度，通过改变教师对学生的期望值可以有效地促进学生学习成绩的提高和培养学生主动求知的学习态度。这一实验称为教师的期望效应，也称作罗森塔尔效应或皮格马利翁效应。深入学习和研究教师的期望效应，对于帮助我国职业教育机构的教师更新教育教学观念，树立正确的学生观，全面推进我国职业教育教学改革具有重要的理论意义和重大的现实意义。

In the mid-1960s, American psychologists Rosenthal and Jacobson＇s research confirmed that, teachers＂ expectations of students in teaching procedure directly affect the academic achievements and study manners of students, and changing this expectation can effectively improve the students＂ academic achievements and foster their study attitudes of seeking knowledge on their own initiative. This experiment is called the expectancy effect of teacher. It is also called the Rosenthal effect or Pygmalion effect. Making deep study and research on the expectancy effect of teacher is of theoretical and practical significance to helping primary and secondary school teachers to change their education concepts and set up correct views of students, and advancing the curriculum and teaching reform of the elementary education in China in an all-round way.
