Annotated Bibliography
Burns, David J. “Will I do as well on the final exam as I expect? An examination of students’ expectations.” Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. 8.3 (2008): 1-19. Burns analyses the question of whether students’ expectations affect their performance in the exams or not. Burns explains that when students anticipate failing results at the exams or they know they do not prepare properly before being testing, the scores will be evidently low. Throughout this article, Burns attempts to prove his argument by mentioning factors that may support it and quoting several authors who concerns about what occurs in the educational system, in order to find a final conclusion to the analysis. It seems not to be difficult to discover the answer to that question, by focusing just in students’ behavior in the classroom. . However the test demonstrates that there are other factors that influence students’ performance, like the methodology in teaching, which make the analysis even more complex. Relating expectation and results needs to be properly supported to get to the expected conclusionTherefore, it is not concretely proven that students’ expectation can influence their performance at the schools.
