摘要：This research aimed to investigate if children with different levels of difficulty in learning to write differ concerning the perception of their teacher's expectancies towards them. Participants were 138 children aged between 9 and 10 years from two public schools. A standardized scale was used to evaluate the difficulties in learning to write. This scale evaluates the most common linguistic difficulties in children's writing during the first years of education. Participants' perception about their teacher's expectancies towards them was measured through a scale having twenty statements of which eleven were positively and nine negatively stated. Results pointed differences between the students' perception about the expectations towards them, on different groups of difficulty in learning to write. The average perception was lower for the levels of higher difficulty and higher for the groups with less difficulty in learning to write, indicating that the higher the individuals' difficulty learning level was, the less positive was the perception they had about the teachers' expectancies towards them.
