Abstract
As a society we should strive to educate our children in the best and fairest way possible. Yet, several studies have shown that stereotype threat effects could be a hazard to the academic achievements of pupils from stigmatized groups. Teachers could possibly counteract these stereotype threat effects. The present review study focused on the positive influence teachers have on the academic achievements of children that are susceptible to stereotype threat in primary and secondary education, using three research questions regarding teacher-pupil relationships, teacher behavior and teacher expectations. To synthesize findings from prior studies on stereotype threat effects conducted in primary and secondary education, a systematic review study was conducted. Articles were selected from ERIC, PSYCHINFO and Smartcat and assessed for eligibility following inclusion and exclusion criteria. A data extraction form was used in order to assemble the information from the primary studies. In total, 13 articles met the inclusion criteria. The articles were narratively synthesized by systematically describing and integrating the results of the studies. Results showed that factors that can positively influence the academic performance of students that suffer from stereotype threat in primary and secondary education are the teacher being warm demanding, offering assistance to all students, the quality of the teacher-pupil relationship is strong, warm demanding behavior, naming the stereotype, high expectations, and wise feedback.
