The Effect of Teacher Expectations on Student Achievement: Does The Pygmalion Effect Hold True for Cape Verde?

The present study is about the relationship between teacher expectations and student achievement. Do teachers have the power to influence student achievement? This is the question at hand. Are students under the influence of their teachers in regards to how they perceive themselves as achievers and ultimately how well they perform? What are the other factors that come into play when assessing student’s academic achievement? In light of the literature written on this topic, the two most prevalent theories are (1) Pygmalion in the Class and (2) The Sustaining Effect. These theories show a direct and determinant relationship between teacher expectations and student achievement. The main objective of this study was to investigate if in Cape Verde, teachers follow the same trend. Responses to teacher and student surveys carried out at Domingos Ramos High School gave revealing insights into how Capeverdean teachers view their students and the role the teachers themselves play in supporting the studen’s academic performance. Is the teacher’s expectation of their students the last word? In general, teachers do have a powerful influence on their students for good or for bad, but the key questions are: (1) are they aware of this power and (2) how well do they manage it? This paper includes an in-depth discussion on the different factors that influence student achievement and research carried out at an urban secondary school which characterizes how teachers and students view their roles in the student’s academic success. Recommendations are also provided to assist teachers in managing their expectations to maximize their role as a positive contributor to the success of their students.

El Pigmalión de Shaw, manifiesto teatral de la lingüística

La comedia Pigmalión, que Bernard Shaw escribió en 1912 y estrenó al año siguiente, es una proclamación artística de la lingüística. A pesar de la popularidad de la obra, es un acontecimiento que se conoce como una anécdota extravagante. El extraordinario mérito de Pigmalión ha pasado desapercibido para la historia de la lingüística. Su mérito estriba en la calidad teatral, la capacidad prospectiva de Shaw y la intención social de su mensaje. Shaw anuncia la utilidad de la lingüística en facetas que, décadas después, se conocerán como sociolingüística, planificación lingüística y logopedia. Por otra parte, se ha relacionado de modo simplista el personaje del profesor Higgins al fonetista H. Sweet. The play Pygmalion, that Bernard Shaw wrote in 1912 and released the following year, is an artistic proclamation of Linguistics. Despite the popularity of the play, this event is known as an extravagant story. The History of Linguistics does not recognize the extraordinary merit of Pygmalion. Its merit lays in the theatrical quality ant the social intention of the message. Shaw announces the usefulness of Linguistics in facets that will be known as Sociolinguistics, Language Planning and Speech Therapy. And furthermore, in a simplistic way, the character of Professor Higgins has been linked to the phonetician H. Sweet.

Mythes et monstres dans Folle et À ciel ouvert de Nelly Arcan

L’œuvre de Nelly Arcan s’inscrit dans un pan de la littérature contemporaine accueillant les monstres comme figures de la transgression qui, par leur é-normité, interrogent la norme dont ils s’écartent. Ces êtres à la fois fascinants et inquiétants hantent la littérature depuis les récits fondateurs de la mythologie antique. Arcan, à l’instar de plusieurs femmes auteurs, recourt au procédé de la réécriture de plusieurs grands mythes grecs dans Folle (2004) et À ciel ouvert (2007). Dans les deux récits, elle met en scène des personnages en fuite qui, face à leur destin néfaste, se métamorphosent en femmes-monstres et en hommes-monstres. Les personnages masculins empruntent des traits à Jason, Narcisse et Pygmalion, mais sont, par leur déviance sexuelle et leur propension à la domination, beaucoup plus monstrueux que leurs modèles antiques. Contaminées par la monstruosité des hommes qu’elles aiment jusqu’à l’annihilation de soi, les protagonistes des deux récits affichent certains traits de Médée, de Méduse et des Amazones, tirant parti de la puissance de ces figures nocives pour donner une leçon aux personnages masculins. Elles acquièrent ainsi de nouveau leur statut de sujet. Dans ce mémoire, il s’agira, par le biais de la mythocritique, des théories de la réécriture et de l’effet-personnage, d’étudier les causes, le processus et les effets du « devenir-monstre » des personnages féminins et d’examiner la reconfiguration de mythes antiques par Arcan. En s’intéressant à la greffe des mythes antiques sur les personnages arcaniens, au déplacement et au renversement des mythèmes caractéristiques des figures prédécesseures, cette recherche espère montrer comment Nelly Arcan dissèque les relations de couple qui mènent au « devenir-monstre » des partenaires. Il ressortira de cette analyse une vision apocalyptique du vivre ensemble, entre hommes et femmes, qui rejoue l’ancienne « guerre des sexes » que l’on croyait terminée.

Can perceptual differences account for managerial success?: the case of Japanese aid workers

Purpose – There is a wealth of studies which suggest that managers' positive perceptions/expectations can considerably influence the organisational performance; unfortunately, little empirical evidence has been obtained from development studies. This research aims to focus on the perceptual and behavioural trait differences of successful and unsuccessful aid workers, and their relationship with organisational performance. Design/methodology/approach – Through web-based survey, 244 valid responses were obtained from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)-aid managers worldwide. Five perception related factors were extracted and used for cluster analysis to group the respondents. Each cluster's perception/behaviour-related factors and organisational performance variables were compared by ANOVA. Findings – It was discovered that Japanese's positive perception/expectation about work and their local colleagues was related to higher organisational performance, and conversely, the negative perception on their part was generally associated with negative behaviour and lower organisational performance. Moreover, in a development context, lower work-related stress and feelings of resignation toward work were strongly associated with the acceptability of cross-cultural work environment. Practical implications – The differences in perceptual tendencies suggest that cautious consideration is advised since these findings may mainly apply to Japanese aid managers. However, as human nature is universal, positive perception and behaviour would bring out positive output in most organisations. Originality/value – This study extended the contextualised “Pygmalion effect” and has clarified the influence of perception/expectation on counter-part behaviour and organisational performance in development aid context, where people-related issues have often been ignored. This first-time research provides imperial data on the significant role of positive perception on the incumbent role holder.

A dialética do amor em pigmaleão, de G. B. Shaw.

Pygmalion (1913), by George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), has many studies in literary criticism. However, this study brings a new interpretation to Shaw s play based on Harold Bloom s theory and methodology, that is, the anxiety of influence and the dialectic of revisionism. Through the analysis of poetic influence and the dialectic of love, we can see that Pygmalion represents an apophrades in relation to William Shakespeare s The Taming of the Shrew (1593) and Ovid s myth of Pygmalion and Galatea in Metamorphosis (c. 14), which creates a family romance between the three stories. Shaw s play surpasses The Taming of the Shrew when it shows the possibility of the relation between this parent poem and Ovid s myth, which it is also its parent poem, and because it represents a strong misreading of Shakespeare s play as well as of Ovid s myth.

Intertextualidades, símbolos e mitos entre o romance Mygale e o filme A pele que habito

The award-winning and controversial movie by Pedro Almodóvar “The skin I live” (2011) is an adaptation of Mygale’s novel (1984), the French writer Thierry Jonquet (1954-2009), translated into Portuguese in 2005 as Tarântula. It is a horror story, full of suspense, in which a renowned surgeon, Robert Ledgard, played by Antonio Banderas, switches, without any scruples, the sex of the young Vincent. What it shown to the viewer since the first images of the movie is, therefore, Vicente/Vera in her new and perfect female body. Flashbacks clarify during the movie the events that culminated in the opening scene that is presented to us, surprising us and, of course, shocking us. References to myths and symbols can be noticed in the movie. They bring with them, to be recognized by the viewer, issues related to the creation or metamorphosis, among others, as the Pygmalion and Galatea myth, which binds to artistic creation. Artistic metamorphosis operated equally by the filmmaker in his modern version of the doctor and the monster, for example, but, especially, in the rereading of the Jonquet’s novel. This study seeks to highlight some of the major myths and symbols inserted in Almódovar’s movie and what interpretations such insertions may ensue.

Resocialization of the Street Children

This project studied the phenomenon of street children through various forms of action dealing with them. The target group included 100 children who frequented the Pygmalion and Open House day centres in Bucharest. On the basis of this sample it was possible to establish the main problems of the street children: reasons for appearance, age on the street, origin, family size, attitude towards parents, reasons for street life, consumption of toxic substances, reasons for detention by the police, main health problems, needs and wishes. The work in Bucharest was supplemented by visits elsewhere in Romania and abroad which provided a breadth of understanding and knowledge of the specific profile of street children, of the complexity of their problems and of their prospects. A comparison of the causes of the phenomenon, and study of some projects and intervention programmes both from Romania and abroad provided the basis for a proposed strategy for combatting the problem. The practical activities on the project included continuing counselling and informative and education activities with the children in order to motivate them to change their life. Further mediation was aimed at changing the hostile approach of the public opinion and some people in authority towards these children. The experiments with schooling and professional resocialisation of the street children provided clear evidence of the possibility of reintroducing them into the social framework but this will require systems and mechanisms specially developed to achieve this.
