Negative Teacher Expectation and IQ Change in Children with Superior Intellectual Potential

Abstract

SUTHERLAND, ANN, and GOLDSCHMID, MARCEL L. Negative Teacher Expectation and IQ Change in Children with Superior Intellectual Potential. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1974, 45, 852-856. A series of related experiments investigated the relationship between naturally established teacher expectation and IQ change. Subjects were 109 grade 1 and 2 pupils from an average socioeconomic area of Montreal. Results show no linear relationship between teacher expectation and IQ gain scores either with or without the partialing out of initial IQ scores. A significant relationship was found between negative discrepant teacher expectation and IQ change in children with superior intellectual potential. The use of IQ testing in the primary grades is discussed, and suggestions are made concerning both teacher training and in-service training programs in the light of these findings.
