Implicit Person Theories and Change in Teacher Evaluation: A Longitudinal Field Study

Abstract: Adopting a longitudinal field study, this paper investigates whether entity theorists (students who believe human attributes are fixed) are less likely than incremental theorists (students who believe human attributes are malleable) to change their evaluations of a teacher in accordance with his behavioral changes. An instructor exhibited some forgetful behaviors in the first half of a course, and ceased doing so in the second half. Consistent with our hypothesis, incremental theorists adjusted their perceptio… Show more

“…or on implicit theories (Marrero, 1993;Pozo & Scheuer, 1999). There is some concern about the design and development of procedures and techniques for the assessment of teaching, as valid measures of learning how to teach and in order to improve teachers' training programs and thereby to gain instructional efficacy, as reported in the works of Cohen-Vogel and Smith (2007) (Tam, Pak, Hui, Kwan, & Goh, 2010) or Van Zandt (1998, Professional Development School-PDS). However, it is currently difficult to agree on an explicit and complete model to be assessed.…”

“…People who hold an entity theory of moral character believe that moral character is immutable, whereas those who hold an incremental theory believe that it is changeable. Compared to incremental theorists, entity theorists rely more on trait‐relevant information when making judgment (Chiu, Hong, & Dweck, ), are more reluctant to adjust their initial trait perception (Tam, Pak, Hui, Kwan, & Goh, ), and more susceptible to making stereotypical judgments (Levy & Dweck, ).…”

“…La mayoría de las investigaciones al respecto, o bien se han centrado en opiniones y valoraciones externas (percepciones de jueces, estudiantes, etc. ), o bien en teorías implícitas (Marrero, 1993;Pozo y Scheuer, 1999), existiendo una preocupación común por el diseño y desarrollo de procedimientos y técnicas de evaluación docente, como medidas válidas para el aprendizaje docente y para la mejora de los programas de formación del profesorado (Pozuelo, 1997) y, por ende, para lograr la eficacia instructiva (Cohen-Vogel y Smith, 2007;Mohan, Lundeberg y Reffitt, 2008;Tam, Pak, Hui, Kwan y Goh, 2010;Yu y Ding, 2009;).…”
