Teaching and learning are immersive activities to which both the instructor and the student bring personal attributes and dispositions that can profoundly impact the success – or failure – of their educational endeavor. Recent research has established that one compelling factor influencing attainment levels in student success is the pre-dispositions or attitudes of the instructor. Specifically, if a professor feels a student has limited capability for gaining command of classroom content, that feeling will manifest itself in ways that can – and do – affect student performance and attainment. In this conversation, Mary Murphy will discuss the ground-breaking findings of her research team, and explore ways in which we might engage this new information to create higher quality learning environments in our classrooms everyday – for everyone.
