Students' Perceptions of Their Academic Standing and Classroom Behavior

Assessing instructional leadership: a longitudinal study of new principals

“…As first‐time principals gained more experience and received more feedback and guidance, their self‐evaluations changed, potentially becoming either more optimistic or realistic depending on whether they were low or high to start with. There is evidence in the self‐evaluation literature that with greater proficiency (Barnett and Hixon, 1997; Mitman and Lash, 1988; Sung et al , 2010) and experience (Alsaker, 1989; Butler, 1990; Kasanen et al , 2009; Wilson and Wright, 1993), self‐ratings of ability tend to decrease, yet become more consistent with other measures of performance. Hence, it may be that these results indicate that less‐confident principals gained in ability, while more‐confident principals gained a more realistic self‐perception as a consequence of their time as a first‐time principal.…”

Upper elementary‐aged children's reported perceptions about good readers: A self‐efficacy influenced update in transitional literacy contexts

“…A rich history of research focusing on children's perceptions of their general ability exists in the professional literature (Bar-Tal, 1978;Blumenfeld, Pintrich, Meece, & Wessels, 1982;Frieze & Snyder, 1980;Minton, 1979;Mitman & Lash, 1988;Nicholls, 1978Nicholls, , 1979Ruble, Boggiano, Feldman, & Loebl, 1980;Ruble, Parsons, & Ross, 1976;Stipek, 1981;Stipek & Tannatt, 1984;Stipek & Weisz, 1981;Weiner, 1979). As Marshall and Weinstein (1984) and Rosenholtz and Simpson (1984) suggest, the classroom indicators that influence children's ability self-evaluations interact in an enormously complex manner.…”

Perceptions des élèves à l’égard des comportementsdes stagiaires dans les cours d’éducation physique

“…Ils perçoivent avec lucidité les différents évé-nements qui se déroulent en classe. Plusieurs auteurs mentionnent que c'est à travers le comportement, l'attitude et la perception des élèves que l'on peut mieux appréhender l'action éducative de l'enseignant (Brunelle et Tousignant, 1985;Mitman et Lash, 1988;Nadeau, 1981;Piéron, 1985;Siedentop, 1983). La présente étude s'inscrit dans ce courant de recherche en enseignement qui s'intéresse à l'élève dans le but de jeter de la lumière sur ses préoccupations, ses perceptions et ses réactions à l'égard des habiletés pertinentes des enseignants.…”
