Document Summary
Concrete self-concept becomes more abstract, comparative, and generalized. Relatively stable: about them selves and who they are. Global sense of self-worth: they aren"t really balancing at im good at that, or im not good at that" but they are generalizing i am awesome, or i am not awesome . Quality of relationships: using abstract ideas, important for understanding themselves and others. Include both positive and negative traits: more balanced. Teachers show a progression of judgements and expectations. Emphasis on work habits and effort: not about how well you do, but how much effort you put in it. Compare to each other and to fixed standards, such as national norms: make more comparisions to his or her peers. A teacher"s belief about a student has a small, but significant, effect on the teacher"s behaviour and student achievement: teachers attitude towards students has a measurable affect on the actual performance measured from the child.
