naks!

i'm currently participating in a seminar on dr. stephen covey's 7 habits for highly effective people. while having our afternoon break, mr. caloy bulatao, our facilitator, leaned over the table & said:

cb: i was impressed with your answer a while ago.
me: sir, which one?

wow. i just had to ruin that moment by being utterly clueless, but i had to know so...

cb: the one about the three teachers.
me: ah. but sir, i'm a psych major.

he was referring to an experiment regarding the self-fulfilling prophecy which i'm familiar with, having taken up social psych in third year. anyway, he went on & said that i am able to articulate my points well (at least, something to this effect).

wala lang. it's just nice to be complimented once in a while, specially when you weren't fishing for it. ;)

badz,
gets ko na yung comment mo. :)

the experiment was about three teachers who were told that they were the best in the school hence, they will be given the "best students". actually, they were given the low-IQ students.

after 1 year, the performance of their students were measured against the performance of the high-IQ students who were not labeled such, & who did not receive instruction from the "best teachers". it was found that the low-IQ students had more significant performance improvements.

self-fulfilling prophecy. ;)
