Sex And Curriculum Differences In Conceptions Of The Teacher Role: A Role Theoretical Analysis, Steven Michael Koning

Masters Theses

This study is concerned with factors which influence the way individuals conceptualize and define their social roles.

These suggestions are tested by examining sex and curriculum differences in conceptions of the teacher role among education students at a midwestern university.

Group Psychotherapy Effects On Internal-External Locus Of Control, Richard P. Reed

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The Internal-External locus of control construct (Rotter, 1966) has been investigated in a variety of areas.

The sample consisted of 40 male inmates at the Peni­tentiary of New Mexico. All were self-referred and had been placed …
