Teachers' Differential Behavior Toward Higher and Lower Achieving Students and Its Relation to Selected Teacher Characteristics.

Mitman, Alexis

Journal of Educational Psychology, v77 n2 p149-61 Apr 1985

Instructions between 12 third-grade teachers and their students were coded by observers who also rated the quality of teacher instruction. Questionnaires measured teachers' perception and attitudes. Teachers showing more concern for lower achieving students also received lower ratings on their teaching quality. (Author/BS)
