Raising Expectancy and Value

Captions available

The idea

Teachers raise expectancy with tasks at the right level, help with planning and help when needed; they raise value by linking tasks to students' interests, prior knowledge, usefulness and the valuing of respected others.

In practice

A teacher shows how percentages decide the price of a student's favorite sneakers.

Where people slip

Expectancies and values predict students' achievement behavior and course choices.
