THE „PYGMALION EFFECT“ IN THE CLASSROOM

Maria Stoyanova Dishkova
University „Prof. d-r Asen Zlatarov“, Burgas

Abstract: The article provides a brief literary review of some concepts, which are more characteristic for the psychological sciences, but have adequate application in pedagogical practice. This is the „Pygmalion effect“, which means that expectations of students are high, and this will lead to higher academic results on their part. This concept is related to the so-called „self-fulfilling prophecies“ – the individual develops to the extent that we expect from her/him. Of course, these phenomena are extremely important for the atmosphere in the classroom, because in a sense they determine the teacher’s attitude towards students. An attempt is made to define other terms: „Galatea effect“ and „Golem effect“ as well.

Keywords: „Pygmalion effect“, positive interaction, „self-fulfilling prophecies“, „Galatea effect“, „Golem effect“, classroom
