Rates of Teacher Verbal Approval and Disapproval to Higher and Lower Ability Classes

Heller, Marc S.; White, Mary Alice

Journal of Educational Psychology, 67, 6, 796-800, Dec 75

Teachers emitted more disapprovals in lower ability classes than in higher ability classes; extra disapprovals in the former were predominantly of the managerial type. Teachers seldom praised pupils for behaving well socially, but approved of instructional behaviors more frequently than they disapproved of these behaviors. (Author/BJG)
