心理学家曾经做过这样的实验:对—批学生进行预测,然后告诉老师,说其中有几位学生非常聪明:将来一定有出息。其实,这几位学生的情况与其他同学一样,并没有什么过人之处。但是,老师听了心理学家的话后,对被称为“非常聪明”的学生却刮目相看,在教学中自觉不自觉地给这几位学生更多的注意、鼓励、关怀和指导。结果,经过一段时间后,这几位学生的学习成绩奇迹般地跃进了许多,成为学生中的佼佼者。这种现象,心理学家称之为“皮格马利翁效应”。作为教育者,我们能从中得到什么启示呢? Psychologists have done such experiments: make predictions on groups of students, and then tell the teacher that there are several students who are very smart: There must be something in the future. In fact, the situation of these students is the same as that of other students. There is nothing extraordinary about these students. However, after listening to the words of a psychologist, the teacher sat down with respect to the students who were called “very clever” and he consciously or unconsciously gave more attention, encouragement, care, and guidance to these students. As a result, after a certain period of time, these students’ achievements have miraculously leapt into many and become outstanding among students. This phenomenon, psychologists call it “Pygmalion effect.” As an educator, what can we learn from it?
