Introduction
Baron (1992) some teachers provide opportunities to their students in enhancing and developing
the necessary skills and performance to deal with their effort and to face any kind of situation
and problem successfully. It means that these teachers put the students in the way of
psychomotor domain. These teachers want to set their student according to realistic standards.
Encourage them to have full confidence to act independently and responsibly in each and every
place of the society. But some teachers have specious view and leave student with negative
feelings about themselves and their abilities. The attitude and behavior of these teachers is not
fair in teaching, learning, dealing and each and every activity related to the students. Self
awareness plays a crucial role in academic performance of the students. When teachers behave
unequally with their students and also leave students with negative feelings about themselves
and their abilities, this can reduce the performance of the students. Strong negative feelings
reduced interest and lead the students toward high level of anxiety and frustration which is
harmful for all kind of performance.
Specious view means bogus response or underestimation. Teacher’s interest, statements,
behavior and attitude affect the student’s performances. Consistent positive or negative feedback
has an effect on a student’s awareness and their academic performance, positive response of
teachers leads the students towards high performance and negative response of the teachers lead
the students towards low/poor performance.
Many teachers felt that it was important for a student to receive positive feedback. Positive
feedback is very important because a student gets success. This gives the student motivation to
continue with his or her development. However, negative feedback is not useful, because in this
way we can decrease the performance of students. A teacher can never get away having
prospects for his or her students. However, it is the way in which these prospects are conveyed to
these students that is important. One teacher summed it all up by saying, "students are very
sensitive and they pick up on everything." This research work shows that teacher prospects affect
student performance. In their opinions, it is impossible to enter a classroom without having
certain prospects. However, we believe, from our experience, that there are so many important
things that we can do to aid our student’s academic performance.
