Popis: The 1968 publication of the Rosenthal and Jacobson's Pygmalion in the Classroom offered the optimistic message that raising teachers' expectations of their pupils' potentials would raise their pupils' intelligence. This claim was, and still is, endorsed by many psychologists and educators. The original study, along with the scores of attempted replications and the acrimonious controversy that followed it, is reviewed, and its consequences discussed.
