Gentlemen,
Today we had a good discussion about "primacy effect" and "self-fulfilling prophecy". "Primacy effect" is the idea that the first impression is very difficult to change, while the later means that people act how others expect them to act. Some of you supported the idea of self-fulfilling prophecy while others disagreed. I noticed some of you were afraid that it might change your personality, others believed it is very effective for better progress of a students. Research shows that students do better in school when teachers expect them to be good students.
Do you think it is important for teachers, parents and administrators to understand the idea of self-fulfilling prophecy?
Write down your viewpoint in 50-70 words and upload on edmodo.
