  1. Rosenthal & Jacobsen • Writing a summary of the research

  2. The Aim • to determine whether teacher expectations influence student performance.

  3. Aim • It is important that the reader can easily (and accurately) determine the independent variable (teacher expectations) and the dependent variable (student performance). • Do not use the word “prove.”

  4. Procedure • It is important to note the most important details so that the experiment could be replicated.

  5. Most important details • Students pre-tested. • Teachers informed of “bloomers.” • Students were not informed of performance. • Students re-tested at the end of one year.

  6. Results • Students who were identified as “Bloomers” improved more significantly on the intelligence test than the other students.

  7. Results • Results need to be an answer to the aim. • Both the IV (teacher expectations) and DV (performance) need to be mentioned. • There is no interpretation in the results. The “answer” to the aim is the concluding statement.

  8. Implications/Findings • Implications answers the question “so what?” • You may also evaluate the study.

  9. Implications: so what? • Teachers should not be given information at the beginning of the year that bias their teaching. • Teachers do a lot of unconscious actions which influence whether a student learns - regardless of the student’s intellectual potential.

  10. Implications: Evaluation • The student sample was culturally homogeneous - that is, it was not diverse. • Ethics - consent was not obtained from the parents of the children. • Ethics - it is impossible to determine the long-term effects of this experiment.
