本研究的目的旨在探討學生外顯性與內蘊特特質對教師期望的預測效力,以及分析學生五項心理特質對教師期望的綜合影饗。研究的對象係台北市國中一年級男生84人,女生76人,數學教師4名。在學年剛開學之初,研究者對所有受試者實施歐迪斯智力測驗、成就測驗、自我態度問卷和成就動機問卷,並評定每位受試的社經水準等級。然後,將這些資料提供給教師閱覽,並於一個多月的實際師生接觸後,請教師預估學生學期結束時的數學成績,以做為教師期望的分數。收集的資料經使用複迴歸分析,獲得如下的發現:(1)學生的外顯性特徵比內蘊性特徵更能預測教師的期望;(2)學生的五項心理特質對教師期望具有綜合的預測作用;(3)就男生而言,學業成就及社經水準兩項特質最具有預測教師期望的作用;而女生方面,則以學業成就、智力與社經水準三項特質最具有預測效力。
The pourposes of this study was to explore: (1) the predictive power of both students' exterior and interior characteristics for teachers expectations; (2) the combinative effects of five characteristics of the students, such as intelligence, achievement test scores, self-concept, achievement motivation and sociaeconomic status (SES), in predicting teacher expectations. The subjects for this study included 84 boys, 76 girls, and 4 mathematics teachers in a junior high school. Early in the semester the subjects were administered intelligence test, achievement test, self-concept questionnaire, and achievement motivation questionnaire. Information about students' SES was provided by the school. Based on the data described above, a psychological report card for each student was made and the teachers were informed of it. After approximately one-month teacher-pupil interaction, the teacher expectations were induced through the teachers' estimating the students' mathematics achievement in the end of the semester. Data were analyzed by using multiple regression analysis. The main findings were as follows: (1) The students' exterior characteristics predicted the teacher expectations better than the interior characteristics did; (2) Five psychological characteristics of the students could be used in combination to predict the teacher expectations; (3) In terms of its importance in making the desired prediction for teacher expectation, the best predictor for boy students was achievement test scores, next SES, as for girl students, the most powerful predictor was achievement test scores, next IQ, third SES.
