Showing High Expectation Lecturers’ Role in Implementing Positive Self-fulfilling Prophecy
56 have good experiences in learning. Thus, they will be motivated to always be on
track in order to obtain the goal of the class. “One thing that I keep doing since my first time teaching here is that I put
myself not as a teacher who they have to respect very much but more as a friend and a facilitator.” – Ms. Richa, 11032015
“I put myself not as a lecturer but more as a friend. Therefore, I think that if the students learn with friends, it would be more comfortable in
everything. The discussion would be good, and the lesson would be well achieved. In my opinion, if I put myself as a lecturer who has a higher
level than the students have low level, it would happen inequality. The
learning process would not as comfortable as if parallel” – Mr. Daniel, 13032015, my translation
Being a friend for their students was one of the ways that Mr. Daniel and Ms. Richa use
d to gain students’ attention. One of the goals of implementing self- fulfilling prophecy
is when lecturers reach students’ attention from personal approach. Mr. Jono claimed that it is important for lecturers to have a personal
approach to their students in order to develop self-fulfilling prophecy to their students.
In this research, the researcher chose participants from different periods of teaching experience. One of the participants has been teaching at English
Language Education Study Program Sanata Dharma University for more than ten years. The other participants have been teaching at English Language Education
Study Program of Sanata Dharma University for more than 15 years or less than 5 years. However, the periods of the teaching experience in the English Language
Education Study Program students at Sanata Dharma University do not bring any difference for lecturers in implementing self-fulfilling prophecy.
