What is self-fulfilling prophecy in education?

In the classroom, a self-fulfilling prophecy occurs when a teacher holds an initially erroneous expectation about a student, and who, through social interaction, causes the student to behave in such a manner as to confirm the originally false (but now true) expectation.

What type of relationship exists between the two variables?

When the data points form a straight line on the graph, the linear relationship between the variables is stronger and the correlation is higher (Figure 2).

Is 0 A strong correlation?

If the correlation coefficient is greater than zero, it is a positive relationship. Conversely, if the value is less than zero, it is a negative relationship. A value of zero indicates that there is no relationship between the two variables.

How do you know if correlation is positive or negative?

We often see patterns or relationships in scatterplots. When the y variable tends to increase as the x variable increases, we say there is a positive correlation between the variables. When the y variable tends to decrease as the x variable increases, we say there is a negative correlation between the variables.

What does a strong negative correlation look like?

A perfect negative correlation has a value of -1.

Is a weak negative correlation?

A negative correlation can indicate a strong relationship or a weak relationship. Many people think that a correlation of –1 indicates no relationship. But the opposite is true. ... The minus sign simply indicates that the line slopes downwards, and it is a negative relationship.
