Abstract | Two questionnaire surveys of 89 Kansas public elementary and secondary schools examined, first, the relationship between school expectancy climate--teachers' expectations that their efforts would lead to positive student results--and school effectiveness, and, second, the change in that relationship through the school year. School effectiveness was measured by teacher perceptions of their schools' adaptability and attainment of goals, their feelings of job satisfaction, and student attitudes toward school. The two surveys covered 1,697 teachers and 880 students in the fall and 1,442 of those teachers and all the same students the following spring. Data were gathered on school size and educational level, student attitudes, and teacher experience, education, sex, job feelings, expectations of students, and perceptions of adaptability and goal attainment. Statistical analysis using correlation coefficients indicates that all four measures of school effectiveness are correlated positively and significantly with school expectancy climate. The relationships are especially strong between expectancy and perceived adaptability and goal attainment. All the correlations were higher in the spring than in the fall. (RW) |
