LabellingLabelling means attach a meaning or definition to people. For example, a teacher
would label their students as bright, troublemakers.
Studies show that teachers label their students not their ability, they label
their students based on stereotyped assumptions about their home
background.
Labelling can become internalized.
Several studies of labelling have been carried out by interaction sociologists.
Interaction studies small scale – face to face interaction between individuals
such as playground. They are interested in how teachers label students and
what effect this has on those who were labelled.
Self – fulfilling prophecy
When students take on the label that is
attributed to them by the teacher or school.
This can either be a positive or negative label.
1. The teachers label the student, for example: brilliant or smart.
2. Then the teacher acts according to the label
3. Then the student internalized the label, and if they gain something according
to their label which gives them encouragement or works harder, that helps
students to achieve success in education.
Teachers expectation
Rosenthal and Jacobson research (Oak community school)
To test to identify who is spurt
But the test was simply an iq test
Researcher picked them randomly
Told school those are spurt
Those who identified as spurt made progress throughout year
Teachers believe encourage them to progress
1. Rosenthal and Jacobson suggest that teacher's belief about pupils had
been influenced by the test results.
2. The teacher acted according to the label – body language, amount of
attention and encouragement.
