So far, teachers are the most influential part of education, their interaction and interaction with students is very important. Teacher's attention is a key important element, and it is an important indicator of excellent student performance, but what happens to students who have not received the teacher's attention? Research by various scholars such as Robert Rosenthal, Lenore Jacobson, Christine Rubies - Davies, John Hattie, Richard Hamilton etc are exploring how teacher expectations are directly related to student achievement.

There is something called "Pygmalion effect" (named after the Greek myth Pigmalion) which is familiar in psychology of education. There, the teacher hopes for expecting more concrete children without knowing, and then will try to satisfy these.

This research shows that if we set high standards for ourselves and help to believe in the realization of these standards, they are possible. On the other hand, children who are thought to try to achieve high standards may not be able to easily give up and realize their possibilities.

In a groundbreaking article written by HBR ("Pygmalion in Management") by Livingstone in 1988, he continues to advise regulators to take precautionary measures.
