The four components of personality were: ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability. Specifically, the study was undertaken for the following purposes: (1) To develop an instrument that would measure the same four Gordon Personal Profile test's factors, ascendancy, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability by reconstructing the unabridged Minnesota Teachers Attitude Inventory test into a personality test called the Modified MTAI. Donald Robert Mayleben (2) To study the relationship between the students' and student teachers' perceived similarities in personality, which were identified through four broad components of the Gordon Personal Profile test: ascendency, responsibility, emotional sta— bility, and sociability, and the performance rating that the students and student teachers gave to each other; (3 H To determine if any difference existed between the spring and fall classes; (4) To detect differences, if any, between the classes at the post—secondary level of instruction and o "_ 7f 1" v vjvw classes at the high school level; L (5) To determine if any difference existed between the classes of the student teachers who were judged socially secure by the Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory test and the classes of those student teachers who were judged socially insecure by the. same measurement. A specially constructed personality test, the Modified MTAI, and the Gordon Personal Profile test were administered to 380 students and 22 student teachers of 14 distributive education classes in the spring and 8 in , the fall of 1971. This was done during the first week of the student teaching assignment. However, 3 student ‘. b4 u; v u.. ,. o v . .. a - U...

A rank correlation was used to analyze the relationship between the four factors on each instrument for each class. It was found that only four of eight cor- relations were significant at the .05 level. Therefore, the first two null hypotheses were accepted. Therefore, it was concluded that the Modified MTAI was not a substi— tute for the Gordon Personal Profile in this situation. At the end of the student teaching experience, the students and student teacher from each class completed a ten-question rating form on the perceived performance and attitudes of each other. The difference in the rating of the students and student teacher was compared with the dif- ference of the students' and student teachers' scores for each of the four Gordon Personal Profile test factors in each class. The data were analyzed by using simple cor- relation and the following results were noted: 1. Ascendency, responsibility, and emotional sta- bility factors each had nine significant cor— relations while sociability had eight. 2. Thirty-five of a possible eighty correlations were significant and twenty—five of them were sig- nificant at the .05 level. 3. Fourteen classes had one or more significant cor- relations. Donald Robert Mayleben 4. Three classes had significant correlations for all four factors. 5. Four classes had three significant correlations for the same factors, ascendency, emotional sta- bility, and sociability. 6. Four classes had two significant correlations and three classes had one significant correlation but each for different factors. Therefore, it was concluded that it appeared that some relationship existed between the performance and attitude rating of the distributive education student and student teacher and the perceived similarities in the four broad components of personality. However, it is unclear what the relationship was. In an effort to determine the difference in popu- lations, the classes were divided into three sets of pairs. They were spring versus fall, post-secondary versus high school, and classes of socially secure teachers versus classes of socially insecure teachers. Since the pairs consisted of an uneven number of classes and subjects, an average weighted correlation was computed for each set and substituted into Fisher‘s Z transformation formula, which was used to analyze the data. At the .05 level, no sig— nificant difference in populations for any of the four Gordon Personal Profile test factors was found for the -14 ,e‘ ~ In; up: v” I '1 Donald Robert Mayleben spring and fall classes, nor for the post-secondary and high school groups. However, in the case of the classes with socially secure teachers versus the classes with socially insecure teachers, significant differences were noted in the population for each of the four factors of the Gordon Personal Profile test. The Z values were 4.790765 for ascendency, 3.904121 for responsibility, 3.790871 for emotional stability, and 4.716555 for sociability. In addition, the following pertinent findings were noted: 1. Twenty-five of the possible twenty-eight cor- relations for the classes of the seven socially secure teachers, or 89 per cent, were significant at the .10 level. 2. Five-sevenths of all significant correlations were recorded in the classes of the seven socially secure teachers. Therefore, it was concluded that in the classes of the socially secure teacher, the perceived similari- ties in personality of the student and student teacher affected strongly the performance and attitude rating.

This is demonstrable, not only in his family life, his occupations, and his edu- cation, but also in any of his pursuits involving other human beings. Interpersonal relationships for the future appear to be even more paramount. Toffler (152:122—23) states, " . . . that we must necessarily reach that ultimate degree of transience in human relations." Inherent in this concept is the fact that due to acceleration of change, which in itself denotes a temporariness in relationship, man must be able to accelerate relationships. Carl Rogers, (130:2) a noted psychologist, says: So he is seeking, with great determination and inven— tiveness, ways of modifying his existential lonev liness. The intensive group experience, perhaps the most significant social invention of this century, is an important one. . . . People will be experiment- ing with ways in which a whole person can communicate himself to another whole person. Therefore, one could conclude from Toffler and Rogers that a major emphasis for the future appears to be development of an ability to establish meaningful temporary relationships. Within the school building, the concept that interpersonal relationship is important finally comes down to the teacher and his effectiveness. Since 1891 numerous research studies have been conducted in order to identify "effective" teachers or to identify some consistent cri- teria that would measure "good" teachers. In attempts to identify some criteria for future effectiveness, many approaches have been tried and replicated. Some studies have been based on student achievement, some on situational criteria, and others had been done on personality traits and/or behavior of teachers. What were the findings and conclusions of the voluminous studies? The following were typical: “The notion of the ‘good teacher‘ which appears so basic to the study of teacher effectiveness turns out to be almost as vague and diffuse as the range of human experiences relative to teaching," (Ellena, 52:54). "And yet, with all this research activity, results have been modest and often contradictory. Few, if any, facts are now deemed established about teacher effectiveness, and many former 'findings' have been repudiated" (Biddle, 21:38). It seems evident that, even with hundreds of studies involving thousands of teachers, the objective of deter— mining criteria for judging teacher effectiveness had not been met. If educators accept the concept that schools should be a mirror of society, then it might be projected that education should seek ways of preparing the student to meet the challenges of the future. Therefore, edu- cation should attempt to determine the affect of inter- personal relationships on teaching and learning. Follow— ing this line of reasoning resulted in one of the functions of this study being to discover the perceived effectiveness of the distributive education teacher as observed by the distributive education student. It was the contention of the researcher that perceived similarities in four basic components of personality will affect the perceived effec— tiveness of the teacher and/or the student. The four components of personality used in this study were: ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability. \ The Problem Statement This study is concerned with determining the affect that perceived similarities in four broad compo- nents of personality had on the perceived effectiveness of the distributive education student teacher and their students. The four broad components of personality were: ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability. These were defined as: Ascendency.-—Mobility upward, especially in respect to power, prestige, and influence. Tendency to control the behavior of associates. Responsibility.-—Accountability for actions and their consequences. The character trait of carrying out one‘s agreements or one‘s duties. Emotional Stability.-—Characteristic of a person who does not react excessively to emotive situations. Sociability.—-Inclination to seek the company of others and to be friendly and agreeable toward them. It was contended by the researcher that distribu- tive education students and student teachers would have a tendency to perceive each other to be more effective if similarities in personality were observed. The problem was specified by a major hypothesis: There are no differences in the attitude and per- ceived effectiveness rating made by the student and student teacher of each other, when one perceives simi‘ larities in one of the four components of personality as measured by the Gordon Personal Profile. The primary hypothesis was first tested by specify- ing four questions, each isolating a component of per- sonality. Is there any difference in the perceived effective— ness of the student and student teacher when simi- larities were observed in ascendency? Is there any difference in the perceived effective- ness of the student and student teacher when simi- larities were observed in responsibility? Is there any difference in the perceived effective- ness of the student and student teacher when simi- larities were observed in emotional stability? Is there any difference in the perceived effective- ness of the student and student teacher when simi— larities were observed in sociability? It was further assumed that if the hypothesis were to be rejected and that if differences were deter- mined, that certain factors in the instructional setting for distributive education should be analyzed to determine if they were causal. These factors were: (1 (2 (3 ) ) v time of the school year; spring classes versus fall; level of instruction: post—secondary versus secondary; socially secure teachers versus socially insecure‘ teachers. Another aspect of this study was to devise an instrument called the Modified MTAI, that would measure the same four components of personality as the Gordon Personal Profile. The unabridged Minnesota Teachers Attitude Inventory Test provided the basis for the develop- ment of the Modified MTAI. Outcomes Expected The outcomes of this study were presumed to be the following: 1. In teacher education programs in distributive edu— cation, there would be a greater emphasis in the direction of interpersonal relationship skills. This would occur in the preservice teacher edu- cation programs as well as the in—service approach. Distributive education materials for training teachers as well as students would in effect have to be redesigned in order to emphasize the inter— personal relationship skills. The selection of students for entry into a dis— tributive education program would assume a new dimension, such as matching life styles against some form of pre—determined testing system. Within a given teacher education program further investigation would be undertaken in an attempt to modify teacher behavioral patterns. 5. The entire process of recruitment for a distribu- tive teacher education program might be signifi- cantly changed. Need for Study in Distributive Education A review of the literature revealed that vocational educators traditionally had not undertaken psychologically based research. Their concern had centered mainly around the cognitive aspects of vocational programs or around descriptive studies of procedure and practice of programs. This was not to say that there had not been some attention given to the role of interpersonal relationship in vocational education but as a rule this form of research had been left to the psychologist. Education for distribution and marketing has always recognized that human relations are a large com- ponent of occupational competency. This belief was recently reinforced by Crawford (37) who has identified human relations as one of the competencies a Distributive Education Teacher-Coordinator must possess. As noted in the review of literature, since 1958 a much greater emphasis has been placed on the recognition of the need for closer personal relationships between teacher and more understanding of them. In Minnesota, new certifi- cation requirements state that all teachers, new or recertified, must have a human relations component. In the area of distributive education, it has become more apparent that there is a need to discover the extent to which interpersonal relationships affect the entire program. In the past, distributive education personnel, teacher educators, teachers, and coordinators believed that the interpersonal relationship of students and teachers had a direct bearing on the total effective— ness of a program. However, little research had been done to establish this fact. By the very nature of a distributive education program, it seemed that the aforementioned statements were even of greater significance. A great deal of emphasis has been placed on the recruitment and selection, placement, and performance of students within a distribu- tive education program. Since the components in the pre- ceding statement were such an integral part of the distribu- tive education program, there must be some way to determine the extent of their importance. If a relationship can be established between the ratings of teachers and students to the life styles of each other, then it may be possible to demonstrate that recruitment and selection of students is of vital importance to the success of any distributive education program. Definition of Terms Terms which have special meaning for the under- standing of this paper are: Ascendency.——Mobility upward, especially in respect to power, prestige, and influence. Tendency to control the behavior of associates. Responsibility.--Accountability for actions and their consequences. The character trait of carrying out one‘s agreements or one‘s duties. Emotional Stability.v—Characteristic of a person who does not react excessively to emotive situations.

Test Factor Agreement Index.v—It is the difference between the teacher‘s score for each factor on the Gordon Personal Profile test and the student‘s test score for each factor. g.-—The letter P will be substituted for the Greek letter p. Limitations For the purposes of this study, the following limitations were noted: 12 The spring and fall distributive education teacher coordinators from all four teacher education institutions in the state of Minnesota totalled seventy—one. All student teachers were utilized during the spring; however, five student teachers in the fall did not wish to participate in this study. Therefore, the size of this population may pose some problems as to the reliability of the recommendations and may tend to increase any error within the study. Due to the fact that none of the teacher education institutions within Minnesota had enough student teachers in any one quarter to establish a large enough sample of the population to be significant, it became necessary to utilize all four insti— tutions. However, the teacher education programs are different in structure and content as well as having personnel that differ greatly in background and personality. Therefore, the background prepar- ation of the various institutions student teachers may affect the results of this study. The student teachers were assigned by the insti- tution, and the researcher had no control over where these individuals were placed. Therefore, the type of school setting, structure of the distributive education programs, environmental F.-. 13 conditions of the community, and size of the school may have an effect on the results. However, it would not be possible to determine what effect, if any, these conditions would have on the findings. 4. Since all the willing student teacher coordinators for spring and fall, 1971, were included in this study, there was no control as to the age, sex, or backgrounds. The universe was made up of eighteen males and four females, varying widely in age and background. 5. In order to develop a control factor for the Gordon Personal Profile test, a modified MTAI test was developed. The researcher relied heavily upon clinical psychologists to select questions from the unabridged Minnesota Teachers Attitude Inven- tory Test. 6. Individual differences do exist in the perceptual domain. The statement is true not only for type and quantity of information that is perceived but also for the interpolation of the data that have been received. Delimitations It is assumed that in the United States there are approximately thirty-two states that have distributive education programs similar to those found in Minnesota. 14 Similarities are not only noted in the teacher education programs but also observed at all levels of instructions in distributive education. Therefore, it is anticipated that student teacher subjects selected from the distribu- tive education teacher education institutions and the students from their assigned student teaching site will constitute a sample of the total population represented by the distributive education programs found in the thirty-two states. Cost factors and lack of cooperation on the part of local school administrators prohibited the researcher from employing additional psychological testing instru— ments. As in most research studies, a significant problem as to the size of the sample to be studied may arise. It was the intention of the researcher to deal exclusively with the teachers in distributive education, since the major field of study is in the area of distribu- tive education. Background of the Study Although according to Biddle and Ellena (20:352) little is presently known for certain about teacher excellence, this does not diminish the importance of continued research, nor does it mean that researchers should give up in the hope of finding some criteria to predict teacher effectiveness. Barr et a1. (16:147), after \'L y 15 summarizing seventy—five doctoral studies, suggested that more research is "needed to clear up many unresolved problems relative to the measure and prediction of teacher effectiveness.“ Biddle and Ellena (21:4) have also noted: The problem is not an idle one. The domestic science and world outlook both clearly demonstrate the urgent need for more and better education for all men. Of all societies, the free one depends most heavily on quality education for the fulfillment of its destiny. Thus, the teacher and the quality of his teaching are of paramount importance. The importance of determining some criteria from which to measure teacher effectiveness has increased. Some recent research has attempted to attack the general problem of defining teacher traits that might be related to effectiveness from the theoretical reference of "self" psychology. Self—psychology is based on the works of such men as Allport (4, 5), Maslow (111, 112), Rogers (128, 129), Lecky (102), Tillich (151), Jersild (91), and Combs and Snygg (34). This approach advocates that each person is a "unique" individual, and that one operates according to his self—concept or perception. Behavior is in accordance with one's perception of him- self and the world in which he lives (Combs and Snygg, 34:14). This approach using the “self as instrument," or an approach based on what an individual is from "within" has shown some promise in defining criteria for effective- ness. Recently, under the direction of Arthur Combs, (n 0" A-‘ 16 studies by Gooding (69) and Usher (156) have demonstrated that administrative and student ratings of teachers are related to, or consistent with, an observed perceptual structure. For example, those teachers who rated high with administrators and students had: (1) Accurate perceptions about what people are like; (2) Perceptions of self leading to adequacy; (3) Accurate perceptions about the purpose and process of learning (Combs, 33:20). Other studies by Shafer (141), Walker (159), and Good (67) have also shown a positive relationship between super- visors‘ perceptions of prospective teachers and the teacher‘s self-concept. Even though the present research has indicated that.there is some positive indication that self—psychology may assist in defining a criterion for effective teachers, as yet no conclusive proof has been established. There- fore, it may be safe to conclude that it may be impossible to establish criteria for effective teaching since years Of research has been unable to produce any significant results, and since the phenomena of the individual‘s uniqueness is such an integral part of the teaching pro- feSsion. Dr. David Merrill (113) undertook a research Project in which he was concerned with the social life 17 styles of individuals. Merrill has divided social life styles into four categories. They are driver, analytical, amiable, and expressive. If Dr. Merrill‘s contention, that the social life styles of individuals play a significant role in inter- personal relationships in the world of work is correct, would it not be logical to conclude that the same is true in the field of education? Hence, this would set up the condition that maybe there is no one effective criterion for teaching, but that students and teachers would per- ceive each other to be more effective when their social life styles are similar, regardless of the techniques used or the way they are used or by whom they are used. If the above statements contain some degree of truth, maybe other questions should be posed. If man is in a constant state of change, meaning growth and develop- meuit, why not approach effective teaching from the stand- point of the teaching situation and the individuals involved in that same situation at a given point in time. CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE An examination of the literature in distributive education revealed that existing research did not provide a sufficient foundation for this study which dealt with both the students‘ and teacher‘s perceived behavior during their interaction. Some research in distributive edu— cation had attempted to identify desired behavior of a teacher-coordinator, such as Harris (82), Samson (136), and Crawford (39, 40, 41). Others tried to establish the desired behavior of the distributive occupations per- sonnel, such as Ertel (56), Van Blois (157), and Craw- ford (39, 40, 41). Yet others sought to identify the types of students in distributive education, Ball (8), Larson (100), and Estes (57); and some studies investi- gated teacher-coordinator's job satisfaction, such as Johnson (92), and Olson (120). However, no studies in distributive education were located that dealt specifi- cally with the affect of the interpersonal of both the StUdent and the teacher. Therefore, it necessitated 18 19 exploring other disciplines, such as: general elementary and secondary education and psychology. The review of related literature was divided into two categories, general and specific. In the general category, three broad areas are reviewed: (1) Teacher Efficiency and Characteristics; (2) Personality Characteristics and Perception; and (3) Field Dependency Personality and Perception. Since this study concerned itself with the effectiveness of a student and/or student teachers based upon a per- ceived life style which was measured by four broad com- ponents of personality, it was the intention of the researcher to draw upon the three aforementioned areas to show a general historical development and create a conceptual picture of the research related to the purpose. Contained in the specific section were studies pertaining to the instruments, the Gordon Personal Profile and the Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory tests used in this study. The purpose of the special review was to present an overview of some of the research which illus— trated several ways in which the instruments were utilized. General Review——Teacher Effectiveness Research in the area of teacher efficiency in earlier decades of this century was aimed at discovering 20 the characteristics of the effective teacher. Much of it relied upon measurement devices that are still in use today. These devices employed for the measurement of teaching efficiency were of three general types: (1) rating scales; (2) tests of teaching ability and efficiency; and (3) tests of pupil achievement. The following studies are intended to be indica- tive of typical research using the above—mentioned devices and being produced in the decades between 1910 and 1970. Barr gt_§1. (13:46) commenting on the last four decades (1910 — 1950) of teacher research reported that the research did not make adequate use of established psycho- logical or sociological theory. It had proceeded too often on hypotheses derived from an over—simplification of the situation and an inadequate methodology, leading to conclusions that frequently did not make psychological or educational sense. The Period--l900-1929 While rating scales were employed earlier, the Elliot scale in 1910 and the Boyce scale in 1915 were the first relevant scales for the evaluation of teaching- efficiency. As a result of Elliot's (53) work, Boyce (26) developed a score card using forty-five traits and rvfi *7- ' 21 correlated these items against a general estimate of merit of the teacher. He found that a high correlation existed between the forty—five items and the criterion. Barr (9) found fault with the then current methods of classroom supervision because he doubted their validity, reliability, and objectivity. Barr suggested that super- visors be trained to observe, analyze, and describe teaching in terms of specific teacher and pupil activi— ties. In his study he sought to test out a better method of supervision using the standard items he helped develop in Detroit some six or so years earlier. He concluded that the performance of teachers was so variable as to make it next to impossible to say that an observed teach- ing practice is wholly good or wholly bad without further research. Barr (9, 10:222) indicated that frequently these early studies of teaching efficiency were based upon the general estimates of supervisors and administrative officials visiting the teacher at work and therefore, yielded a method which was very subjective and unreliable. He suggested that standardized tests of teaching ability and efficiency provided more reliable evaluation and offered the Knight (98:14) Aptitude Tests for Elementary and Secondary Teachers as an example. Knight (98) has been cited by Boardman (24:6) and others as a pioneer in the standardized tests field. 22 Madsen (108:43) cited Knight‘s study as the first really scientific investigation concerning factors of prognostic value in teacher selection and it served as a base for many of the teacher rating scales and devices then in use. Knight (97) used both the supervisor and teachers' associ- ated as judges to rate a teacher upon the broad quality of general teaching ability such as: the number and types of questions asked in class. These factors were then ranked by each judge in order of merit. A correlation of .541 existed between teaching efficiency and IQ scores of elementary teachers. Knight concluded that a profess sional test of teaching efficiency for elementary school teachers was highly predictive but suggested that some test other than IQ may be more desirable. Somers (144:9) followed Knight‘s pattern but used normal school marks, participation in extra-curricular activities and personality estimates in addition to IQ scores to predict success of prospective teachers. He reported the most significant coefficients of correlation were normal school success, .73, two years marks in school, .71, and student teaching in training school, .70. The Period--l930-1949 Wrightstone (168:32) shifted from research on objective teacher supervision to using the classroom climate. Data for those types of studies were obtained through the use of trained observers who made notations 23 of pupil behavior in the classroom. Each time a pupil engaged in a specified activity, the observer wrote the coded symbol for this activity next to the pupil's name. The accumulated material was then rated by a panel of trained observers. In this way, Wrightstone was able to conclude that teachers using the newer type practices in their classrooms offered many more opportunities for self- initiated, cooperative, and leadership activities. It was also possible to note how teacher personality and practices affected the democratic process. Mort g£_al. (117) developed a questionnaire which specified the attitudes of the teacher toward the role of the school in modern society. Teachers who did poorly on the seven categories of school policy covered by statements indicated unawareness or disagreement with progressive trends and practices. Kelley and Perkins (95:7) felt self-evaluation of teaching practices should be of importance to the teacher. They developed an inventory to indicate teacher fitness for the responsibilities of dealing constructively with youthful personalities in the classroom. Differences between high and low scoring teachers were found to be significant. While not denying the value of self- evaluation, Barr and Harris (14:9) presented a means of evaluating the teacher's performance systematically on an activity basis which was the anecdotal—performance record approach to teacher evaluation. 24 After examining hundreds of studies, Corey, (38: 578), in search of scientific investigation into the traits associated with fine teaching, claimed that supervisory ratings were invalid criteria for teacher effectiveness because the emphasis had been on the teacher and not on the development of the child. Another researcher, Grieder, (79:691-92), in his analysis of temperament used Rosanoff's seven components which were: the "normal" component, the hysteroid, the cycloid, the schizoid component, comprised of the autistic phase and the paranoid phase, and the epileptoid phase, in an attempt to establish common patterns of temperament among the student teachers. He also was looking for some supervisory rating to use as criteria. His findings revealed no common temperamental element or pattern of components in the data for various groupings of student teachers. Barr (10:220 and 11:280—81), in a summary of investigations on the prediction of teaching efficiency for two three—year periods (1940-1942 and 1945-1947), summarized over 200 studies relating to the measuring and prediction of teaching efficiency. Barr reported many exhaustive and extensive studies had been made and the majority reported correlations between such variables as intelligence test scores, achievement test scores, 4 academic averages, and supervisors‘ ratings. Barr attempted to show the trends and the problems of teaching efficiency in these reports. r—__— 25 The Period—-l950—l970 In the Second Report of the Committee on Criteria of Teacher Effectiveness, Barr, Beckdolt, Burly, Gage, Orleans, Pace, Remmers, and Ryans, (133215), stated that in the earlier decades of this century, research was directed at discovering the characteristics of the effec- tive teacher. Attempts were made repeatedly to correlate single traits of teachers with one or more criteria. Most often, the criteria employed was the rating of teachers, thus bringing, in a sense, both the criteria and the characteristics into the same dimension. This approach led to an over-generalized View of teaching and reduced considerably the likelihood that good teaching might be viewed as part of some broader situation. Barr reported that too many of the ratings were made by persons untrained for such tasks, and hence, were of questionable validity. Almost as if to answer the objections of Barr gt;al., Ryans (133:11) reported on a study begun by the American Council on Education in 1948 and completed in 1953. The study was, in part, an outgrowth of the program 0f the National Committee on Teacher Examinations. The lhnportant role of personal and social behavior patterns 01? teachers was recognized from the first in planning thus National Teacher Examinations, but lack of reliable 26 research data in the personal and social behavior areas discouraged inclusion of them in the test battery which evolved. The purpose of Ryans' study was to identify and analyze some of the patterns of classroom behavior, atti- tudes, viewpoints, and intellectual and emotional qualities which characterized teachers, and to develop objective measures that might be used in evaluating and predicting teacher behavior. In order to attain these objectives, it was necessary to develop techniques for the reliable assessment of classroom behavior, to determine some of the more prominent patterns of teacher behavior, and to develop inventories composed of materials hypothetically related to teacher classroom behavior dimensions and other personal and social characteristics of teachers. The design of Ryans‘ study set it apart from the others on which Barr gt_al. (13:46) had reported because most of what was known about teacher characteristics was derived from subjective data-gathering rather than a more objective norm. Specifically, Ryans‘ study dealt with the weaknesses Barr et a1. pointed out by: (1) viewing teaching as a part of some broader situ- ation; (2) using qualified raters and observers whenever part of the research design called for them; 27 (3) by basing hypotheses and methodologies on estab- lished psychological and sociological theory. Ryans‘ study examined almost every conceivable variable in teaching effectiveness such as age, sex, work habits, marital status, value judgments, size of school, educational philosophy, classroom behavior, teaching experience, avocational activities, religious activities, academic success, size of community, and the socio-economic status of the community. Findings and conclusions were given on each area researched and trends were reported. For instance, neither age nor teaching experience appeared to be associated with teacher attitudes, and actual pupil behavior in the classroom did not appear to be related to the attitudes held by teachers. Ryans, however, believed that the usefulness of his findings for the prediction of teacher behavior would be greatest when the results were considered in an actuarial context, rather than in attempt- ing highly accurate predictions for given individuals. Bush (28), working on teacher-pupil relationships, pointed out the complexity of measuring teaching competence because of the divergence of ratings, the different vantage points, and the different standards in mind used by super— visors, administrators, and pupils. He indicated that it was not possible to classify all pupils or teachers into one or another of three pupil and three teacher types he described; but for those who could be so classified, it 28 emerged that a failure to match these types frequently resulted in disturbed teacher—pupil relations. He suggested that the effectiveness of the teacher-pupil relationship might be increased by experiments involving matching of pupils and teachers. He further reported findings that pupil liking for the teacher was highly related to pupil liking for the subject and to subject matter achievement, and there was a marked tendency for those pupils who most liked the teacher to feel that they were learning more, even though they may not have been learning as much. Allen (3:13), warned that professional persons retain their effectiveness only as long as they remain warmly human in the relationships. The more skill— ful they are (therapists or teachers), the more natural and human they can be as they incorporate the theoretical background of their skill into the relationship. Some recent research has attempted to attack the general problem of defining teacher traits that might be related to effectiveness from the theoretical reference of "self" psychology. Self-psychology is based on the works of such men as Allport (4, 5), Maslow (111, 112), Rogers (128, 129), Lecky (102), Tillich (151), Jersild (91), and Combs and Snygg (34). This approach advocates that each person is a "unique" individual, and that one operates according to his self—concept or perception. ."' ‘nn’. 29 Behavior is in accordance with one‘s perception of himself and the world in which he lives (34:522 and 33:134). This approach using the "self as instrument," or an approach based on what an individual is from "within" has shown some promise in defining criteria for effective- ness. Recently, under the direction of Arthur Combs, studies by Gooding (69) and Usher (156) have demonstrated that administrative and student ratings of teachers are related to, or consistent with, an observed perceptual structure. For example, those teachers who rated high with administrators and students had: (1) accurate perceptions about what people are like; (2) perceptions of self leading to adequacy; (3) accurate perceptions about the purpose and process of learning (Combs, 33:20). Other studies by Shafer (141), walker (159), and Good (67) have also shown a positive relationship between super- visory perceptions of prospective teachers and the teacher‘s self-concept. Even though the present research has indicated that there is some positive indication that self-psychology may assist in defining a criteria for effective teachers, as yet no conclusive proof has been established. There- fore, it may be safe to conclude that it may be impossible to establish criteria for effective teaching since years 30 of research has been unable to produce any significant . results, and since the phenomena of the individual‘s uniqueness is such an integral part of the teaching pro- fession. Since there was a voluminous amount of research in the area of teacher efficiency and characteristics, the preceeding review was presented for the purpose of showing the general historical development of the methodology and problems encountered in the scientific search for evidence. General Review--Personality Charac- teristics and Perception Personality and perception had been studies and had a history almost as long as psychology itself. Research designed to measure individual differences in abilities, personality traits, and intelligence likewise have a history almost as long. Early studies in the area of perception stressed the differences in perceptual and sensory characteristics. Galton (60) investigated what forms of imagery different subjects took and so devised tests to measure weight discrimination and sensi- tivity to high tones. Cattell and Farrand (30:620) used a battery of tests on college students and were seeking measures of perceptual differences. Gilbert (64:2, 3) compared the physical growth of hundreds of children to the performance on perceptual and motor tests. 31 These researchers and others working at the turn of the century were struggling to determine individual differences in perception. They and other investigators believed that individual variations in attention, attitudes, motivation, and set had an effect on perception. A survey by Gibson (63:783—84) was made of research on set with emphasis on perceptually oriented studies. At first, a set was described as a transient condition of the subject due to the instructions of the experimenter. But it was soon learned that what the subject perceived was also dependent on general expectations arising from the pattern of the entire situation and on habits gained by previous experience. Thus the notion of set was broadened to include those perceiver conditions. Researchers have ‘become interested in the motivational factors and personal determiners of perceptual experience and have studied their relationship to perception. This research direction has blended with a general shift of emphasis in differential psychology. That shift has been from the measurement of cognitive traits to the measurement of motivational traits (Tyler, 155). The relationship of personality and perception is best shown in the area of projective techniques. The relationship is contingent upon the hypotheses that responses to ambiguous or unstructured stimuli reveal characteristics of the individual's personality. The 32 most familiar examples of this evaluation of personality approach were Rorschach's Ink Blot Test and Murray's Thematic Apperception Test (Abt and Bellak, 1). These traditional clinical-psychometric approaches have been complemented in recent years, however, by experimental investigations which attempt to apply laboratory techniques to the study of individual differences in perception. Typologies, contrasting persons whose usual ways of experiencing the world in one way or another, have been constructed by past investigators based on individual differences in perception. Jaensch (89) gave one of the most inclusive typologies based on perception. He contrasted those whose perceptions were unstable, irregular, and not firmly linked to reality with those whose perceptions are systematic, logical, and realistic. Tyler (155) discussed a somewhat similar typology and contrasts sub— jective with objective perceivers. The objective type had a slow, rigid, narrow consistency in the approach to a perceptual task while the subjective perceiver viewed and interpreted what was seen with a fluctuating, broad overview marked by considerable subjective interpretation. The perceptual typology of Eysenck (58) has appealed to many psychologists and it contrasted form reactors to color reactors by using four tests which were: 33 (l) suggestibility, (2) dark vision, (3) questionnaire, (4) Rorschach ranking. The form-color typology demonstrated some relationship with scoring procedures for Rorschach determinants. How- ever, it was concluded that a combination of the four tests was a better measure than any of them used singly. This was true not only because of the statistical fact that four tests are better than one, but because the Rorschach appeared to be more diagnostic with respect to hysteria than to dysthymia. Another researcher, Vernon (158), discussed the terms "analyzers" and "synthesizers." The analytic observer concentrated on small details and tended to see separate parts while the synthetic observer saw the field as an integrated whole, but missed some of its details completely. Various workers cited by Vernon mentioned the fact that subjects spontaneously adopted one or the other attitude in experiments on psychological relation- ships, illusions, or comparisons of complex geometrical forms. The subjects were most successful at a perceptual task when they adopted the attitude natural for them. In the distinction between what Vernon describes as analyzers and synthesizers, there was a relationship 34 to the Rorschach location interpretations of whole (W), large detail (D), and small detail (d). The function of the Personality Characteristics and Perception section was to provide a general overview of some of the earlier as well as more recent attempts to link the develOpment of personality characteristics with perception. Since this study dealt with the effec- tiveness of a student and/or student teacher based upon a perceived life style, which was measured by four broad components of personality, it seemed only logical to incorporate some of the earlier developments. General Review--Field Dependency Personality, and Perception The first large-scale quantitative investigation in perceptual characteristics was a series of factor- analytic studies published by Thurstone (149). A number of factors centering around perceptual speed or "freedom from Gestalt—binding" which appeared to be related to mental ability were described. Speed and flexibility of closure were seen as related primarily to temperament. This dimension emerged in subsequent factor-analytic studies by Thurstone (150:55), Botzam (25), and Pemberton (122). Using Gottschaldt‘s test and Glaser‘s association Value of Nonsense symbols test to determine the subject's ability to make distinctions between aspects of given fields presented useful information about personality according to Gollin and Baron (66:260). 35 Witkin (165) described a perceptual type or mode called field dependency which was related to certain per- sonality characteristics. To measure this type of orien- tation, Witkin devised a twenty-four item Embedded Figures Test (EFT) selected from those developed by Gottschaldt (76:262). To make Gottschaldt's black—and-white outline complex figures more difficult, colored patterns were superimposed. The simple figure was hidden by being incorporated into the pattern of the larger figure and the S was required to separate the item from the field in which it was incorporated. The EFT has become a standard part of the tests of field dependence, and shorter forms of it have also been developed (Witkin, 164). In a manner similar to the typologists of the past, Witkin formulated polar perceptual approaches characterized as global and analytical types. The global manner of perceiving involved the inability or difficulty in overcoming an embedding context, while the analytical method involved a tendency to experience items as discrete from their back- grounds, and reflected an ability to overcome the influence of an embedding context. These individual differences in approach to perception have been called field dependence and field independence and are frequently referred to just as field dependence. The tendency toward‘ one or the other approaches of field dependence charac- terized a person‘s perception in a wide variety of 36 situations, and there is a considerable body of literature specifying the relationship between field dependence and performance in constancy situations (Thurstone, 149; Witkin gt_al., 165; Perez, 123; Holtzman and Bitterman, 85; Podell and Phillips, 124; Gardner et_al., 59; Gardner, Jackson, and Messick, 62). The perceived was markedly self-consistent in respect to the global or analytical approach of perception. In general, the field dependence dimension was related to dimensions of perceptual functioning identified by other investigators. "Field dependency, Thurstone's flexibility of closure, Phillip‘s spatial decontextuali- zation, Duncker's functional fixedness, Guilford‘s adap- tive flexibility, and perceptual organization on the Wechsler scale all appear to involve the ability to over- come an embedding context" (Witkin, 165:80). Even stronger evidence of such a relationship was shown in studies by Gardner, Jackson, and Messick (62:8) and Podell and Phillips (124:439). Gardner, Jackson, and Messick (62:8) factor analyzed a large battery of perceptual, intellectual, and personality tests. They included two tests to rep- resent the field-dependence dimension, the EFT and RFT, and two tests to represent the flexibility of closure dimension, Concealed Figures and Designs. All four tests had their major loadings on the same factor. It 37 was also evidenced that the field dependence dimension referred quite specifically to the ability to overcome an embedding context, which appeared distinct from the ability to overcome the effects of distracting field (Witkin gt_al., 164). Witkin gt_§l. (164), using the interview technique and various psychometric instruments, discovered field dependent 35 were unadaptive under stress and made sig- nificantly more errors than field independent 83 when their social attitudes conflicted with the correct solution. The field dependent Ss had a tendency to lack insight, to repress their impulses, to be passive, to yield to inferiority feelings, and to be tense. More- over, they tended to be submissive to authority, to require environmental support, and to deny inner events. For defenses, field dependent Ss tended to use massive repression and primitive denial. Witkin found the field independent perceiver tended to maintain his own direction in the face of the contradictory attitudes, judgments, and values of others. The field independent Ss tended to have relatively stable self-views in varying social contexts since they needed these less for self-definition, and tended to show self- awareness, to express impulses directly, to be active, to deal with inferiority feelings in a compensatory way, to show self-assurance, and to have a sense of humor. 38 The field independent 83 tended to use intellectualization, isolation, and over-control as defenses. It was assumed, then, that an individual's performance in perceptual tasks provided a measure of his manner of operating in other areas of life; in other words, it represented the nature of his personality functioning. As such, it provided more valid information on a teacher's personal-social behavior than did the MTAI for, as Ryans (133:12) indi— cated, research seemed to point toward clusters of behavior, and it is reasonable that some behavior was more suitable for elementary than for high school situ- ations. It was assumed that a teacher developed and dis- played certain types of attitudes and behavior because of his perception of self and of others. Attempts to deter- mine attitudes characteristic of superior teachers to gain better teacher-pupil relations were not greatly beneficial. Swinford (147:214) reported that the type of person a teacher is, including his knowledge, was more important in influencing his teaching behavior and attitudes than the pressures and influences of his education, adminis- tration, and community. Englander (54:262) pointed out in his study of elementary education majors that the perceived elementary teaching was a means of maintaining and enhancing the phenomenal self. Congruency with reSpect to perceived personal characteristics of self with the characteristics of elementary teachers was 39 significant at the l per cent level of confidence. In addition, these elementary education majors perceived that the features of elementary teaching would be con- gruent with the features desired for themselves. These findings tended to confirm Super‘s (146:189) notion that one‘s vocational choice was a means of implementing the self-concept which required a person to determine rather explicitly their concept of self and to say, "I am this or that type of person." An exploratory study by Dillon (48) also lended support to Super‘s concept and reported a definite relationship between a subject's motivational pressure and his concept of himself as a teacher. By the preceeding review, it was the intent of the researcher to show a different methodology of examining personality development through perception. This section illustrated a general pattern of the studies that used more objective criteria and relied upon more spontaneity of response from the subject than the studies reported in the Personality Characteristics and Perception section, which were subject to distortion by the subjects because of his willingness to give a free response or by the examiner due to his ability to interpret the results. However, the Field Dependency Personality and Perception unit was of concern because the additional information contributed to the major assumption of this study. 40 Specific Review of Related Literature The function of the specific review was to illustrate some of the varied areas and uses of the Gordon Personal Profile and the Minnesota Teachers Atti— tude Inventory tests which were two of the four instru- ments used in this study. This was done by selecting a few studies that provided a broad and general perceptual pattern in methodology. Also a brief description of purpose as seen by the designer of the instrument was included. It was not possible to demonstrate the appli- cation of the ten-question rating form or the Modified MTAI test because those instruments were designed Specifically for this study. Therefore, the review was confined to the first two mentioned measurements which were presented in separate units. Specific Review--Gordon Personal Profile The purpose of the Gordon Personal Profile was to provide a simply obtained measure of four aspects of personality which are significant in the daily functioning of a normal person. Specifically, they are ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability. Gordon (73:669-70) claimed that the four aspects of personality were relatively independent and psychologi- cally meaningful traits which were important in determining 41 the adjustment and effectiveness of an individual in many social, educational, and industrial situations. Gordon (71:407), in the initial development of the instrument, assumed that a primary reason for the low validity of the personality questionnaire was the moti— vation of a majority of respondents to mark socially acceptable alternatives to items, rather than that which they believed applied to themselves. Using the forced- choice method, Gordon designed a measurement of eighteen items that presented pairs of items that had been equated for preference value but which differentially discrimi- nate on a criterion. This resulted from two lSO—item tests which were administered to two groups of students number- ing 390 and 282. He found that the correlations on all four factors for both male and female were at least .5 at the .05 level. Several studies were conducted to test the faka- bility of the Gordon Personal Profile; two such studies were: Rusmore (132:176) and Gordon and Stapleton (75:258). Rusmore simulated an employment and vocational guidance situation and administered the Profile to eighty—one lower-division students. He concluded that the Gordon Personal Profile was probably less subject to "faking" than inventory type instruments. Gordon and Stapleton divided the 209 subjects into two groups: one seeking employment immediately 42 after graduation and one seeking vocational guidance. Each was administered the profile twice, at different times. They reported that the individuals‘ profile did not change. In the armed services, researchers made sub- stantial use of the Gordon Personal Profile. The emphases were primarily on personality traits for selection and training. In the area of selection, Anderson and Hertzlea (6:2) used the Gordon Personal Profile to predict the personality profile of 216 SCUBA divers and 185 frogmen trainees as well as 50 graduated frogmen. The most significant factor was found to be emotional stability for the trainees. Anderson, Hertzlea, and Gordon attempted to set some standards for selection of SCUBA divers by administering the Profile to officers and enlisted men on both frogmen and SCUBA units. Little difference was found between the two groups for any of the four factors. In the area of training, Willingham, Wilson, and O‘Connor (161:378) investigating flight trainees, concluded that a person might score low on the responsibility factor and still complete a task. They attributed it to group pressure. Marketing, management, and sales are areas of business that utilized the Gordon Personal Profile to a minimal degree. Tucker and Painter (154:325), in their study Personality and Product Use, examined 133 students 43 in marketing by administering the Profile, and a Sales and Marketing Personality Index for the purpose of analyz- ing the relationship between the two. A total of 36 com— parisons (9 products x 4 personality characteristics) included 13 significant relationships at the .05 level. They concluded that personality traits are often related to product use. Researchers in the field of education appeared to have used the Profile more than any other area, especially in conjunction with other instruments. Gordon (72:245-48) conducted a study to determine the degree to which certain personality variables were associated with leadership. The subjects, 168 college women who were freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, were administered the Profile. Three months after the election of corridor leaders, the subjects were asked to rate their corridor mates on five personality factors: sociability, ascendency, responsi— bility, hypersensitivity, and refinement. The consistency with which responsibility occurred high in the correlation suggested that it may be a general characteristic of leadership. A low positive relationship was found between leadership and the absences of ascendency, hyposensitivity, and intelligence. In an effort to establish a relationship between self—rating and test scores, Arbuckle (7:292-93) asked 120 college freshmen to rate themselves on Heston‘s six 44 traits which were emotional stability, sociability, analytical thinking, confidence, personal relations, and home satisfaction. In addition, two factors from the Profile, ascendency and responsibility, were used. The group was subsequently divided into three groups and the high and low were compared. It was concluded there was a minimal relationship between students‘ test scores and self-rating. Another example of the use of the Profile was one done by Lohmann, Zenger, and Weschler (107:28-31). The purpose of the study was to examine and measure the change that occurred in subjects who participated in sensitivity training. Three classes of twenty-four, twenty-two, and nineteen students and three male trainers were administered the profile before and after the experiences. The only significant data reported was that in all cases, the idolization of the trainer diminished; however, other trends, such as students' self—perception scores rose as a result of the training experience, were present. In no way was the preceeding review intended to be an exhaustive list of the studies which had used the Profile as one of the instruments. However, the purpose was to establish a base for the rationale for selecting the Gordon Personal Profile, utilizing it to measure life style through four broad components of personality which the Profile can do. 45 Specific Review—~Minnesota Teachers Attitude Inventory The development of the MTAI came at a time when greater emphasis was being placed on the recognition of the need for more understanding of the interpersonal relationship between teacher and student. It was designed to measure those attitudes of a teacher which predict how well he will function in the interpersonal relationships with the student. According to Cook (36:5), close exami- nation of the items, which discriminate sharply between the teachers who have and those who do not have good rapport with students, indicated the inferior teachers were essentially socially insecure while teachers having good rapport were socially secure. A study by Mitzel, Rabinowitz, and Ostreicher (114:501-15) was undertaken to determine the contribution of the identified response sets to the test score variance of the MTAI and the validity or lack of validity of those responses. After administrators had rated 512 female elementary teachers as superior or inferior, based upon their ability to get along with pupils, 457 completed the MTAI. A raw score difference of 13.86 was reported between the two groups. It was significant at the .01 level. The reliability of the response set was shown to be .851 and .901. Hence, a validation was concluded. Stein and Hardy (145:321—27) attempted to check the validity of the MTAI in establishing norms for 46 teacher satisfaction and teacher-pupil rapport in Manitoba. Two groups of student teachers were administered the MTAI test prior to student teaching. After a three-week period of student teaching, "Our Student—Teacher“ rating forms were given to the pupils. A correlation of .387 and .507 was reported when the test and rating results were compared. Kearney and Rocchio (94:443-45) conducted a study to determine whether the rating of secondary-school teachers by pupils was related to the teachers' ability to maintain harmonious relations with students. The sophomore and senior classes of ten high schools rated their teachers who had taken the MTAI test. The F value was found to be 8.76, significant at the .01 level. Therefore, Kearney and Rocchio concluded that the MTAI was a useful instrument in predicting the feeling tone of the student for the teacher. A number of other studies, Rocchio (127:77—78), Rocchio and Kearney (126:244-52), and Dodge and Clifton (49:364-71) were undertaken and demonstrated significant findings. From the examination of some of the studies using the MTAI and the preceding review, it was decided that the instrument could serve as a control factor. It was, therefore, administered to all student teachers for that purpose. CHAPTER III PROCEDURES The study was designed to answer the following questions: 1. Is there any difference in the perceived effective- ness of the student and student teacher when simi- larities were observed in ascendency? Is there any difference in the perceived effective- ness of the student and student teacher when simi- larities were observed in responsibility? Is there any difference in the perceived effective- ness of the student and student teacher when simi- larities were observed in emotional stability? Is there any difference in the perceived effective— ness of the student and student teacher when simi— larities were observed in sociability? Is there any difference in the spring and fall population, in the post-secondary and high school population, or in the classes of the socially secure teachers versus the classes of 47 48 the socially insecure teachers when each of these groups are investigated in relationship to any of the four components of personality? By using the Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory, can an instrument be developed that will measure the same four components of personality as the Gordon Personal Profile? The basic procedures for this study were: Design Defining the Population and Selecting the Sample Instrumentation Collection of Data Design In addition to the major hypothesis of this study, there were two sets of hypotheses that were developed one being procedural the other set being substantive. The first set of hypotheses was designed to identify the relationship between perceived effectiveness and four personality characteristics, as well as to determine the similarities between two instruments used to measure identical personality components. Procedural Hypotheses: 1. There is no significant difference in the rank correlation coefficient of each of the four factors on the Gordon Personal Profile and the Modified MTAI test taken by the students as it relates to a single class or between classes. 49 There is no significant difference in the rank correlation coefficient of each of the four factors on the Gordon Personal Profile test and the Modified MTAI test taken by the student teachers. There is no significant correlation between the agreement index of the student-~student teachers' ratings and the agreement index of the student—— student teachers' ascendency factor of the Gordon Personal Profile in each class. There is no significant correlation between the agreement index of the student—vstudent teachers‘ ratings and the agreement index of the student-— student teachers' responsibility factor of the Gordon Personal Profile in each class. There is no significant correlation between the agreement index of the student——student teachers‘ ratings and the agreement index of the student-- student teachers‘ emotional stability factor of the Gordon Personal Profile in each class. There is no significant correlation between the agreement index of the student-—student teachers' ratings and the agreement index of the student-- student teachers‘ sociability factor of the Gordon Personal Profile in each class. The second set of hypotheses was substantive, meaning that they were dependent upon the results of the procedural hypotheses for implimentation. Substantive Hypotheses: 7. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries‘ correlated values of the rating agreement index and the ascendency agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. 10. 11. 12. 13. 50 There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post—secon— daries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the responsibility agreement index as compared with the same average weighted cor- relation of the high school. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the emotional stability agree— ment index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the sociability agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring correlated values of the student——student teachers‘ rating agreement index and the student-~student teachers' ascendency agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring correlated values of the student-—student teachers‘ rating agreement index and the student—~student teachers‘ responsibility agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of Spring correlated values of the student--student teachers‘ rating agreement index and the student-—student teachers‘ emotional stability agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 51 There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring correlated values of the student-vstudent teachers‘ rating agreement index and the student-~student teachers' sociability agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. There is no significant difference in the ascendency average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the ascendency average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. There is no significant difference in the respon— sibility average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the responsibility average weighted cor— relation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. There is no significant difference in the emotional stability average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the emotional stability average weighted cor- relation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. There is no significant difference in the sociability average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the sociability average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. 52 Defining the Population and Selecting of the Samples It was assumed that in the United States there are approximately thirty-two states that have distributive education programs that are similar not only in teacher education but also at all levels of instructions. There- fore, the pOpulation for this study is all the distributive education student teachers and their students from the thirty-two states. Minnesota is one of the thirty-two states. Thus, the sample selected was the distributive education student teachers and their students in Minnesota. The sample was composed of: (l) twenty—seven available distributive education student teacher coordi- nators from the four approved Minnesota teacher educationi programs during the spring and fall quarters of 1971; (2) all distributive education students from the assigned student teaching sites. However, only 22 of the 27 student teachers agreed to participate in the study. In the spring, 14 student teachers and 226 students participated in the research project illustrated in Table 3.1. During the fall, 8 student teachers and 154 stu- dents cooperated with this study, as shown in Table 3.2. Even though 10 student teachers were available from the University of Minnesota, only 5 agreed to participate. Six of the 22 student teaching sites were post-secondary; the others secondary. 53 mmm «a «a Hayes 0 o oooHU .Um mm .m.m oaafl>mcuom no we .m.m measm a: m m obmxcmz .cooe «a .m.m mHHOQMOGCHE UU eunoz ma .m.m wadedmoccflz on ma .m.m manomcflnnom mm ma .m.d .eome mxond mm .O.h hm .m.m mamocmEuoz mm wooccmx MDOmOGGHZ mo na .m.m coumcHEoon 4d m m muwmnm>flcb .O.h madam ma .m.m msmuma MM ma .m.m nuuoz omumm mm .O.> aamm ea .m.m ooozomm zz momma uwonuoo HH oa .m.m Epsom omumm an coma ma .m.m ocoeuooz we 0 m omonuooz omummwofluumm manoawm>< MMMMWMMMd cofluoouumcH Hooeom mcaooo mumzomoe anemones HMMWMWMWMGH Mo “@3552 .m0 Hm>oq omcmammd unmosum ucoosum “enemas mo HonEdz mo noneoz Hume meadow Mom coaumasaomtt.a.m mamas 54 «ma m ma Hmuoa mm .m.m mwuocmxoad mm .nome om .m.m mwuocmxmad mm m m oooau .um ma .m.m oumxcmz 00 H a coarse: cemnmmmmb ma .m.a aoumnasooam NN NH .m.m .come mxocd MM endow m .m.m mflaoemoccflz xx noecmm ma .m.m mamomcwnnom 33 m OH mnemoccwz mo ummoou muwmum>flcs mm .m.m manomcflnnom >> o o omoeuooz ooummwoflunmm manoaflc>m UMMMMWMMM cowuosnumcH Hoonom mcaoou mnocomma macromos “MMWMWMWMGH mo Honeoz mo Ho>mq omcmwmmd . ucoooum unmooum becomes mo Honesz mo Honesz Hams Hana sou :oaumasaomua.~.m mamas 55 Since control of the selection of the student teaching location was impossible, and since every willing, available, distributive education student teacher coordi- nator was utilized, the number and nature of the student population and the instructional level of the student teacher were totally predicated on chance. However, six of the twenty-two student teaching sites were post- secondary. Distributive education student teacher coordinators were chosen as subjects rather than experienced teacher coordinatOrs. Rationale for this decision stemmed from the concept of familiarity and the possibility of people selecting other individuals with similar personalities. Since distributive education teacher coordinators, at least the majority, had selection rights, and since their personality and/or life styles were known by the students, it was decided to eliminate these potentially contaminat- ing factors. Instrumentation The instruments used in the study were the Minne- sota Teachers Attitude Inventory (MTAI), the Modified MTAI, the Gordon Personal Profile, and a teacher and student rating form. These are shown in Appendix A. The MTAI was developed by Cook, Leeds, and Collis and has been used extensively to measure those attitudes of a teacher which predict how well he will get along 56 with pupils in interpersonal relationships, indirectly, how well satisfied he will be with teaching as a vocation, and to some degree the social security and insecurity of teachers. This instrument has consistently produced reliability coefficients of .93. Leonard V. Gordon developed the Gordon Personal Profile Test which measures four factors of personality, namely, ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability. He also used this instrument in seven of his own research studies. The reliability of this instrument rises sharply when it is used in conjunction with other instruments such as intelligence and aptitude measurements-~significant at the .01 level. However, since there has been no previous similar use, it will be necessary to quote its general reliability which is .80. It was contended that another test, similar to the Gordon Personal Profile Test, could be developed and the unabridged MTAI was an excellent source for acquiring questions. Definitions for the four factors, measured by the Gordon Personal Profile, were established from the Comprehensive Dictionary of Psychological and Psycho— analytical Terms. With the assistance of two clinical psychologists, the questions on the MTAI Test were investigated and categorized into the four factors: ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and 57 sociability. Statements from the MTAI, which were judged ambiguous, were discarded. After the items were categorized into the four factors, six questions, representing each area, were randomly selected. On the Modified MTAI Test, questions 1, 2, 4, 5, 11, and 19 represented ascendency; questions 8, 9, 12, 20, 23, and 24 represented responsi- bility; questions 3, 6, 7, 10, 18, and 22 represented emotional stability; and questions l3, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 21 represented sociability. Another instrument used in this study was a teacher and student rating form. Since the project was designed to have both the students and student teachers rate each other for performance and attitude, it became necessary to develop evaluation sheets that would parallel each other. Therefore, a ten—question teacher rating form which had been used extensively throughout the Cincinnati School system was selected because it contained a variety of attitude and performance categories which related significantly to elements of the study. However, it was developed on a three-point scale and had numerous negative selections. It, therefore, became imperative to revise the rating sheet. All positive statements were used and a five-point rating scale adopted: SA - A - U - D - SD, with a numerical scale set from SA - 5 to SD - 1. Five questions on the new rating form were identical; five questions had words changed to fit the Operation of the 58 responder, such as this example: teaching versus learning (see question 1, Appendix A). In the light of the aforementioned alteration, the instrument was administered to ten classes to check for understanding and meaning of the statements. In all situations, there were no cases reported in which the students or student teachers were unable to respond due to a lack of understanding concerning the meaning of the statement. Collection of Data In February of 1971, the spring-quarter student teachers from each institution were identified and a coding system was devised. Each student teacher was assigned a double letter indicating the school of his student teaching site and the number one for self- identification. The students in each student teachers' class were subsequently identified by the double letter and a chronological numbering system Starting with two. Simultaneously with the aforementioned activity, the State Department of Education was contacted and Mr. Ron Strand, then state supervisor of Distributive Education, wrote a letter to each participating school soliciting cooperation. This preceded the researcher‘s letter to each of the distributive education teacher-coordinators. At the beginning of March, a meeting was held for each group of student teachers from their respective 59 institutions. The purpose of this meeting was to explain the testing procedure, define the coding system, and administer the MTAI test to each student teacher. The importance of retaining a roster of students with the identification code of each student was emphasized at the meeting. The Gordon Personal Profile and the Modified MTAI tests were also disseminated with the coding instructions on the envelope. During the first week of student teaching, the Gordon Personal Profile and the Modified MTAI were taken by the student teacher and each student. The tests were scored. In every class each student's percentile scores for each of the four factors of the Modified MTAI test were ranked and compared with the same student's ranking percentile scores from the identical factor of the Gordon Personal Profile test. The aforementioned operation was processed in an identical manner for all of the student teachers. The Gordon Personal Profile test, which was the main instrument, performed the principle service of measuring life style. The student teacher‘s percentile scores for ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability on the Gordon Personal Profile were com— pared with his student's percentile scores for the cor- responding factor. The above function provided a column 60 of differences for each factor: ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability in each class; hence- forth identified as agreement index A, R, ES, and S. After eight weeks of student teaching, the students in each class completed the ten—question teacher rating form on their student teacher. The coding on the teacher rating form was the double letter designating the school and the identically assigned number the student had on his previous tests. In addition, the student teacher completed a ten— question student rating form on each student in his class. The coding on this form was the double letter representing the school and the student's assigned number; thus enabling the scores from the two rating forms to be compared with each other. This function produced a column of differences, henceforth to be labeled rating agreement index, for the ratings in each class, which was then compared with the Gordon Personal Profile test score agreement index for each of the four factors in each representative class. The entire Spring process of the study was repli— cated in the fall. CHAPTER IV ANALYSIS OF DATA This study sought to determine the perceived effec— tiveness of a student and/or a student teacher when per— ceived similarities in life style were noted. A second dimension of this study was to determine if any dif- ferences in the perceived effectiveness existed between groups such as: high school versus post—secondary, spring versus fall, and socially secure versus socially insecure. The third thrust of this study was to create an instrument that could measure identical personality characteristics such as those measured by the Gordon Personal Profile Test. The findings of this study were based upon the Minnesota Teachers Attitude Inventory Test, a Specially constructed personality test, the Modified Minnesota Teachers Attitude Inventory Test, the Gordon Personal Profile Test, and a revised ten—question student-student teacher rating form. The MTAI, which was used to deter- mine whether the student teacher was socially secure or insecure, was administered just to the student teachers While the other instruments were dispensed to all of the subjects. 61 62 The first data of this study were obtained from all willing distributive education student teachers and their assigned distributive education classes in the Spring of 1971. The study was replicated in the fall of 1971. A sufficient variation between high school and post—secondary student teaching placement occurred so that a comparison of the two populations was made. In addition, two other groupings, spring versus fall and socially secure teachers versus socially insecure teachers, were made in order to analyze the population‘s relationship. The hypotheses used for analysis of data were previously stated in Chapter III. The ensuing data will be presented in the same order. Population Elimination In the spring of 1971, there were 14 Distributive Education student teachers and 226 students from 14 dif- ferent distributive education programs who participated in this study. However, 2 student teachers, NN and II and their combined classes totaling 30 pupils, were eliminated from the spring population because the stu- dent teachers made errors in the coding procedures when they administered the Modified MTAI test and the Gordon Personal Profile test to their students, as illustrated in Table 4.1. 3 6 and omfl mam SH «a Hmuoa o o cacao .um um mm mm .m.m maaa>mcnsm as me SH SH .m.m madam z: m m oumxcmz .aome NH ma SH .m.a maaoammccaz oo auuoz as as we .m.a maaoammaqaz as ea NH ma .m.m mamemcanbom mm as as we .m.a .aooe mecca mm .o.s mm mm mm .m.m wwmocmEHoz mm mnemmccflz condom mo ma ma SH .m.m coumcflEoon dd w m muflmno>wcb .o.e madam NH ma ma .m.m assume as as NS NS .m.m auuoz omuma am .o.> maama o o «a .m.m soozemm zz mmxmaH o o as .m.m uaouuma HH a OH OH .m.m ausom comma be some ma SH SH .m.m emmauooz co m m emmeuooz HH H pound mmmem emcee Taoauumm manoawm>¢ downs» OHQOHHM>< GOfluOSHumGH HOOfiOm ms." 0 mwm .

Hypotheses l and 2 and the alternatives restated symbolically were: 1) H : p' = O 2) H2 p' = G H : p' # 0 Ha p' # fl Expressions H1 and H2 meant that the covariance, which is the sum of the product of x and y, is equal to the geometric mean which is the square root of the product of x2 and y2 sums. In the above statement x represented the difference between the actual score on the Gordon Personal Profile test and the mean; y the difference between the actual score on the Modified MTAI test and its mean; x2 and y2 is the square of those differences. The alternative hypotheses implied that the covariance and geometric mean bore little ratio. However, the common formula for correlation was not used because it was not appropriate for completing rank correlation. Through algebraic substitution the following notation was derived and utilized: 68 Where the expression indicates: r‘ = the rank correlation coefficient D = the difference between a pair of ranks n = the number of pairs of ranks. Both Hypotheses l and 2 were judged to be sig- nificant at the 5 per cent level. Simple correlation was employed to analyze Hypotheses 3, 4, 5, and 6, symbolically stated as: H3 PA = 0 H4 PR = 0 H5 PES = 0 H6 PS = 0 3 A H4 PR > 0 H5 PES > 0 H6 PS > 0 The column of differences A, R, ES, and S individually were correlated with the column of differences RT for each class. The common formula for correlation used was: 69 Where the notation indicates: r = the correlation coefficient x = the difference between the column of dif- ferences A, R, BS, or S and its mean y = the difference between the column of dif- ference RF and its mean x = the square of the x difference 2 Y the square of the y difference All four hypotheses were tested with each class. When the correlation coefficient had been determined, the "Value of the correlation coefficient for different levels of significance" table was consulted to find the critical value for the applicable number of degrees of freedom at the .05 and .10 significant levels. In addition, since the alternative hypotheses were one tailed tests, each correlation was mathematically tested using the equation t: / 1 - r2 where: t = the ratio with n - 2 degrees of freedom The values from freedom for The 70 the observed sample value of the correlation coefficient the number of subjects computed t values were then compared with the the "t" table at the appropriate degrees of the 10 and 5 per cent level of significance. data and results obtained from Hypotheses 3 to 6 were the basic information used in the handling of Hypotheses 7 through 18. Symbolically stated these hypotheses were: H7 H8 H9 H10 H11 H12 H13 H14 H15 H16 H17 H18 erH = erp erH = erP erSH = erSP wrSH = wrSP erSP = erF erSP = erF erssp = erSF wrSSP = wrSF wrad = wrag wrrd = wrrg wresd = wresg wrsd = wrsg 71 And the alternative hypotheses were: H7 erH y erP H8 erH ¢ erP H9 erSH # ersp r r Hlo w SH # w SP H ersp # erF 11 r r H12 W'RSP # w RF H13 erssp # erSF r r Hl4 w SSP # w SF r r H15 w ad # w ag r r H16 w rd # w rg r r Hl7 w esd # w esg r r H18 w sd # w 59 Where the expressions indicate the following: r = the correlation coefficient weighted average correlation coefficient subscript w subscript a = ascendency subscript r responsibility subscript emotional stability m to II subscript s = sociability h = high school p = post secondary 72 sp = spring f = fall d = teachers judged socially secure from the unabridged MTAI g = teachers judged socially insecure from the unabridged MTAI The weighted average correlation was devised by multiplying each applicable correlation by the degrees of freedom and dividing the product by the total number of subjects. At this point the z transformation was used to test for the significance of the difference between two sample correlation coefficients at the .05 level. From the "z” transformation table, corresponding 2 values were found for the weighted average correlation coefficient and inserted into the following formula: “Z z = (21 2) Where the notation indicates: z transformation table value of r 2 nl = number of subjects The basic statistical tools used in analyzing the hypotheses previously presented were rank correlation, simple correlation, and Fisher's z transformation. 73 Hypothesis 1: Students' GPP Versus StudentsT Modified MTAI There is no significant difference in the rank cor- relation coefficients of each of the four factors on the Gordon Personal Profile and the Modified MTAI tests taken by the students as it relates to a single class or among all of the classes. The null hypothesis, P' = 0, was accepted and the alterna- tive hypothesis, P‘ i 0 was rejected at the .05 level. Therefore the Modified MTAI was not a substitute for the Gordon Personal Profile in this situation. Supporting Data The data for Hypothesis 1 were obtained from the results of the Gordon Personal Profile and Modified MTAI tests, which were administered to each student in every cooperating distributive education program. For each class, the students' percentile scores for each of the four factors from the Gordon Personal Profile and the Modified MTAI tests were ranked, all of which were illustrated in Appendix B. From the preceding results, a rank correlation for each test factor in each class was performed using the formula, _ 6 D n (n2 - l) 74 For example, using the Gordon Personal Profile's and the Modified MTAI test‘s sociability factor for class AA and substituting the differences squared in the formula, the following resulted: 6 (437.50) 16 (162 — 1) r _ 1 _ 2625 IE‘TEEET 2625 r - l 4555 r = l - .643 which yielded a rank correlation coefficient of .357. The data for the above computation was shown in Table 4.3. The rank correlation coefficient was computed for the test factors; ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability for each class. The results for this mathematical process were shown in Table 4.4. Using the t table at the .05 level, it was observed that only four positive correlations, shown by an asterisk in Table 4.4, were significant and one nega— tive correlation, shown in Table 4.4 by a double asterisk, was significant. 75 TABLE 4.3.--Rank and differences for sociability, Class AA Student Modified MTAI GPP Difference Difference Number Rank Rank Squared 1 3.50 3.00 .5 .25 2 12.00 5.00 7.0 49.00 3 15.00 8.00 7.0 49.00 4 10.00 13.50 -3.5 12.25 5 12.00 5.50 6.50 42.25 6 15.00 11.00 4.00 16.00 7 15.00 12.00 3.00 9.00 8 3.50 4.00 — .50 .25 9 1.50 7.00 -5.50 30.25 10 1.50 2.00 — .50 .25 11 7.00 9.50 -2.50 6.25 12 7.00 1.00 6.00 36.00 13 7.00 16.00 —9.00 81.00 14 12.00 9.50 2.50 6.25 15 7.00 13.50 -6.50 42.25 16 7.00 15.00 -8.00 64.00 Total -2.00 437.50 n = 16 TABLE 4.4.--Rank correlations of the Gordon Personal Pro- file--Modified MTAI four test factors for each class Emotional Class Ascendency Responsibility Stability Sociability AA -.010 —.123 .360 .357 BB -.098 -.168 -.091 -.215 CC -.146 .394 -.253 .007 DD .219 .104 .113 -.055 BB .135 .029 .297 .136 PF .013 -.063* -.276 .192 GG -.339 .578 .052 .346 BB -.524 -.012 .495 -.059 JJ -.342 .058 .415 —.400 KK .349 .622* —.331* .037 LL -.150 .174 .513 .028* MM .379 -.041 .031 .698 00 -.l76 .142 .324 -.368 PP -.258 .045 -.166 -.045 RR -.197 .243 -.235 —.268 VV .125 .304 -.045 .118 WW -.022 .262 .179 .086 XX -.221 -.454 .146* .329 ZZ .238 -.218 -.541 .110 76 There were seventy-six rank correlations viewing each of the four factors for each class as a single cor- relation. Therefore, at the 5 per cent level, by chance, there should be three to four significant correlations: 76 x .05 = 3.8. As noted in Table 4.4, only four positive rank correlations occurred. Hypothesis 2: Student Teachers‘ GPP Versus Student Teachers' Modified MTAI There is no significant difference in the rank cor- relation coefficients of each of the four factors on the Gordon Personal Profile test and the Modified MTAI test taken by the student teachers. The null hypothesis P' = 0 was accepted, and the alterna- tive hypothesis, P' # 0, was rejected at the .05 level. Therefore, the Modified MTAI was not a substitute for the Gordon Personal Profile in this situation. Supporting Data Each student teacher was administered the Gordon Personal Profile and the Modified MTAI tests. The per- centile scores for each factor were ranked, and a rank correlation coefficient was computed on each factor using the formula: 2 6 D n (nj- 1) The supporting data for percentile scores and the ranks were reported in Appendix B. 77 The computed rank correlation for each of the four factors of the Gordon Personal Profile and Modified MTAI tests taken by the student teachers was shown in Table 4.5.

Hypothesis 3: Rating Agreement Index and the Ascendency Factor There is no significant correlation between the agree- ment index of the student-~student teachers' rating and the agreement index of the student-—student teachers' ascendency factor of the Gordon Personal Profile in each class. It was observed that classes AA and FF were significant at .10 and that classes BB, HH, KK, PP, VV, YY, and 22 were significant at .05. The null hypothesis, Pa = 0, was rejected for the aforementioned classes and the alterna- tive hypothesis Pa > 0, was accepted. However, for 78 classes CC, DD, EE, GG, LL, MM, 00, RR, WW, and XX the null hypothesis Pa = 0, was accepted and the alternative hypothesis Pa > 0, rejected. Supportinngata At the beginning of the student teaching assign— ments, each student teacher was administered the Gordon Personal Profile test. At the completion of the eXper- ience, the students in each class individually rated their student teacher and the student teacher rated each stu- dent in his class. In each class, the student teacher's score for the ascendency factor on the Gordon Personal Profile test was used as the point of origin. Then the students' scores for the same factor were compared with the student teacher's score and the difference was determined, which was shown in Appendix C. The rating agreement index for each class was computed from the differences of the ratings by the students of the student teacher and the student teacher of the students. These data, by class, were reported in Appendix C. Using the ascendency agreement index and the rating agreement index, a correlation coefficient was computed for each class by utilizing the formula: 79 An example of this procedure for Class AA was illustrated in Table 4.6. _The result of the mathematical computation yielded a correlation coefficient of .403248. After a correlation coefficient for the ascendency factor for each class was computed, the formula, was used to determine the computed value of t, which was compared to the "t" Table's value for the corresponding degrees of freedom at the 5 per cent and 10 per cent level of significance, illustrated in Table 4.7. Hypothesis 4: Rating Agreement Index and the Responsibility Factor There is no significant correlation between the agree- ment index of the student--student teacher's rating and the agreement index of the student--student teacher's responsibility factor of the Gordon Per- sonal Profile test in each class. It was noted that classes BB, 00, and YY were significant at .10 and classes AA, DD, FF, JJ, PP, and ZZ were sig— nificant at .05. Thus, for the previously stated classes, the null hypothesis, Pr = 0, was rejected and the alterna- tive, Pr > 0, was accepted. The null hypothesis, Pr = 0, for classes CC, EE, GG, HH, KK, LL, MM. RR, VV, WW, and XX was accepted and the alternative, Pr > 0, was rejected. 80 nm.wI u m no.m~ u m mam.mmma mmm.mmaa mmm.mmam o o o.mmI mva mamuoe nmq.nom+ mov.mm mvm.mama mm.m I mm.mmI m.oaI mml ma nvm.mom+ moo.mmm mvm.mnm mm.mHI mm.mmI N.omI wwI «a nam.mmm+ mom.mm mvm.mmm mm.m I mm.mmI N.vHI mmI ma mmn.mm I mew. mvm.amaa no. mm.mmI m.v I hmI NH nma.m~ + mvv. mmm.mona no. no.mv m.v I ma Ha www.mmm+ mom.mm mm~.mmm hm.m no.mm m.v 0 0H wma.ma + mvv. mom.mnm so. no.vm N.v I a m hmv.aa + mmv.m mom.¢m mm.~ I mm.v I N.h I mNI m hmn.mma+ mom.am moo.mvm no.v no.mm N. m n mmo.aa I mov.mm mm~.v mm.m I no.m N.oaI Hal m mvm.omaI mmm.mm www.mmm mm.m I no.ma m.maI m I m mmm.mm I mom.mm mmm.m ww.m mm.m I m.v mmI v mvm.momI mma.oma mmv.amm mm.aa mm.>aI m.m le m nah.mm + mmm.mm mow.mm mm.m I mm.m I m.mHI mmI m hnm.vmm+ mmm.nnm mmm.~mm hw.ma .ho.mm m.aa o a N x meCH xmocH ax m x m x ucmfimwumm “cmammumd ucowswm m N mcwumm zocmpcmomfl mmofipcw ucmfimmumm mcwumu was Mosmpcmomm 44 mmmao soflumamnuoo m mcflupflm Mom mofluaucmsg man no coaumusmEOUII.m.v mqm¢e 81 mo. um uCMOflmwcmHm oa. um ucmoHMHcmHm «a .1 NH «H oma.H mmm.H I.~m~.~ Namavm.

Taking the student teacher's score for that factor and comparing it to the student's score for the identical factor, the responsibility agree— ment index was derived for each class, which was shown in Appendix C. Each class' responsibility agreement index was correlated with the rating agreement index for the same class using the formula: A procedural exemplification for Class AA was shown in Table 4.8. The correlation coefficient was .663035. When the computed correlation coefficient for the responsibility factor was completed for each class, a "t" test, using the formula, r V n - 2 /r1 - rz t: was employed for each correlation to determine the tabu- lated value of t. This quantity was compared to the "t“ Table's value for the corresponding degrees of freedom at the .05 and .10 level of significance.

But for classes AA, BB, CC, DD, GG, LL, MM, RR, VV, WW, and XX the null hypothesis was accepted and the alterna- tive hypothesis was rejected. Supporting Data Emotional stability was the third factor on the Gordon Personal Profile test. Using the student teacher's percentile score for the emotional stability component of the Gordon Personal Profile test as a point of origin, an emotional stability agreement index for each class was derived by comparing the students' percentile scores for the same factor with the score of the student teacher. The data were reported in Appendix C. By correlating the emotional stability agreement index with the rating agreement index, a correlation 86 coefficient for each class was computed. The formula used for this process was: Class AA, noted in Table 4.10, was utilized to illustrate the procedure. A correlation coefficient of .303741 resulted from the mathematical process. Once the emotional stability's correlation coefficient for each was established, a "t" test was used to test the correlation's significance, using the formula, = r / n — 2 /f l - r2 t The computed value of t was compared to the "t" Table value for the corresponding degrees of freedom at the .05 and .10 level of significance. Table 4.11 was used to illustrate the results. Hypothesis 6: Rating Agreement Index and Sociability Factor There is no significant correlation between the agreement index of the student-~student teacher's rating and the agreement index of the student-- student teacher's sociability factor of the Gordon Personal Profile test in each class. 87 nm.eI m hm.mI m mmm.meHH mmm.mmHH mmn.nmeNH o o o.mnI mmHI meuoe mmm.mm moe.mN nHm.NOH mm.m I mH.OHI N.oHI mHI mH mnm.ooe moo.mmN nnn.Nmo mm.mHI mH.oNI N.ONI mmI eH non.NNNI mom.mm nnnImmm mm.m I hm.mN N.eHI mH NH mmN.> mee. an.mHH be. hm.0H N.e I N NH mmm.N mee. whm.eH no. nm.m N.e I m I HH mem.mmN mom.mm NHN.Nmm mm.m nw.mN w.e HN 0H whe.HH I mee. hme.mmN no. mH.>HI N.e I mNI m mmm.Nn mNe.m nuo.mmm mm.N I mH.HmI N.h I oeI m MHm.hmH mom.HN hmm.mmNH hm.e nm.mm N.

How— ever, for classes AA, CC, DD, EE, FF, GG, JJ, LL, MM, 00, RR, and WW, the null hypothesis was accepted and the alternative rejected. Supporting Data The last of the four factors on the Gordon Per- sonal Profile test to be correlated with the rating agreement index was sociability. The process for deriving the sociability agreement index was identical to the technique used for the other three components of the Gordon Personal Profile test. Using the formula, a correlation was computed for each class and an illus- tration of the procedure was shown in Table 4.12.

The tabulated t value was compared to the "t" Table's quantity with the corresponding degrees of freedom at the .10 and .05 level of significance. The results of the process were shown in Table 4.13. By combining the computed t value for the four factors, shown in Tables 4.7, 4.9, 4.11, and 4.13, into Table 4.14, the following points were observed: 1. Ascendency, responsibility, and emotional sta- bility factors each had nine significant cor- relations while sociability had eight. 2. Thirty-five of a possible eighty correlations were significant and twenty—five of them were significant at the .05 level. 3. Fourteen classes, AA, BB, DD, EE, FF, HH, JJ, KK, 00, PP, VV, YY, and Z2, had one or more sig— nificant correlations. 4. Three classes, PP, YY, and Z2, had significant correlations for all four factors. 5. Four classes, BB, FF, HH, and KK, had three sig- nificant correlations, with HH and KK having significant correlations for the same factors, ascendency, emotional stability, and sociability. Classes BB and FF had significant correlations for ascendency and responsibility factors but the correlation for the third factor differed. 92 NO. um HONUHNHcNHN OH. um ucmoHMHcmHm xx x.

Four classes, AA, JJ, 00, and VV, had two sig- nificant correlations each, however, JJ and 00 had identical factors, responsibility and emotional stability. Class AA had a significant correlation for the responsibility factor, also, but differed for the second factor, while VV's significant cor- relations were for ascendency and sociability factors. 7. Three classes, DD, EE, and XX, had one significant correlation but each for a different factor. Hypothesis 7: Ascendengy—-Secondary Versus Post-Secondary There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post-secondary's correlated values of the rating agreement index and the ascendency agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation value of the high school. At the 5 per cent level of significance, the computed value of Z, 1.319, was compared with table quantity, 1.96. The difference was not found to be significant. Therefore the null hypothesis, r = r a aps a ahs x , was accepted and the alternative hypothesis, was rejected. r r a aps a ahs' Sgpporting Data The computation of the ascendency correlation coefficient for each class provided the basic data used to test Hypothesis 7. The twenty classes were divided 95 by instructional levels into two groups, post—secondary and high school. Classes CC, EE, FF, GG, KK, PP, and YY were post-secondary, while the remaining classes were high school. An average weighted correlation was computed for both groups by multiplying the ascendency correlation coefficient for each class by the number of its subjects. These products were added and the sum divided by the total number of subjects. The process was shown in Tables 4.15 and 4.16.

Fisher's z transformation formula, 21 - 22 l l //n-3 + n-3 was used to compute Z. Substituting the Z values in the Z: formula, it became z: .273255 - .120276 //7 1 + 1 (122-3 II98Z§T completing the mathematical computation, Z was equal to 1.319.

Since the computed value of Z was only .213457 and it was less than the table value of 1.96, the null hypothesis, wrrps - wrrps' was accepted and the alternate hypothe31s was rejected. Supporting Data Using the same process as in Hypothesis 7, the. average weighted correlation for responsibility at the post-secondary level was found to be .245559 and at the high school level it was .224998.

Summary of the Findiugs The Gordon Personal Profile and the MTAI tests provided the basic data for Hypotheses l and 2. For the first hypothesis, the students' scores from each test were ranked and correlated. The 121 results showed that only four of eighty cor- relations were significant. The second hypothesis, dealing with the ranking and correlating of the student teachers' scores from the Gordon Personal Profile and MTAI tests, showed no correlations were found to be significant. Thus, both null hypotheses were accepted. Therefore, the Modified MTAI was not a substitute for the Gordon Personal Profile. The four factors from the Gordon Personal Profile test were investigated individually in relation- ship to the difference in the rating of students and student teachers. It was observed that for the ascendency, responsibility, and emotional stability factors, nine, or 45 per cent, of the twenty classes' correlations were significant at the .10 level for the sociability factor (see below B). In an effort to establish differences between populations, three pairs of groups were analyzed. The groups were post—secondary versus high school, spring versus fall, and socially secure teachers' classes versus socially insecure teachers' classes. For the first two groups, at the .05 level of significance, no differences were noted for any of the four Gordon Personal Profile test 122 factors. However, in the third set, a highly sig- nificant difference occurred for each of the four factors. However, seven correlations for ascen- dency were significant at the .05 level, while six responsibility and emotional stability Cor- relations were significant at the 5 per cent level. Added to this was the factor that six correlations for the sociability factor were significant at the .05 level. Therefore, it appears that some relationship between observed similarities in the four broad components of personality and perceived effectiveness existed but it is unclear as to just what these relationships were. CHAPTER V SUMMARY This study was conducted to determine the con— trtikjutory effect that the perceived similarities of four brroeud components of personality had upon the rating of dijst:rdlmtive education students and student teachers in Minnesota. The four components of personality were: asczearudency, responsibility, emotional stability, and soc i ability. Specifically, the study was undertaken for the fOl l owing purposes: (1) To develop an instrument that would measure the same four Gordon Personal Profile test's factors, ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability by reconstructing the unabridged Minnesota Teachers Attitude Inventory test into a personality test called the Modified MTAI; (22) To study the relationship between the students' and student teachers' perceived similarities in personality, which was identified through four broad components of the Gordon Personal Profile 123 124 test: ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability, and the performance rating that the students and student teachers gave to each other; (3) To determine if any difference existed between the spring and fall classes; (4) To detect differences, if any, between the classes at the post-secondary level of instruction and classes at the high school level; (5) To determine if any difference existed between the classes of the student teachers who were judged socially secure by the Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory test and the classes of those student teachers who were judged socially insecure by the same measurement. The Problem of This Study The problem of this study was to determine the affect that perceived similarities in the four broad com- ponents of personality had on the perceived effectiveness (”3 t311£3 distributive education student teachers and their Stu‘3<311ts. The four broad components of personality were: ascendency, responsibility, emotionalstability, and socialroility. These were defined as: 125 Ascendency.-—Mobility upward, especially in respect to power, prestige, and influence. Tendency to control the behavior of associates. Responsibility.--Accountability for actions and their consequences. The character trait of carrying out one ' s agreements or one‘s duties. Emotional Stability.--Characteristic of a person who does not react excessively to emotive situations. Sociabiliuy.--Inclination to seek the company of others and to be friendly and agreeable toward them. It was contended by the researcher that distribu- tiVe education students and student teachers would have a tendency to perceive each other to be more effective if The problem Similarities in personalities were observed. was specified by a major hypothesis: There are no differences in the attitude and per- ceived effectiveness rating made by the student and Student teacher of each other, when one perceives Similarities in one of the four components of per- £3c>nality as measured by the Gordon Personal Profile. The hypothesis was first tested by specifying four questions, each isolating a component of personality. 1 - Is there any difference in the perceived effective- ness of the student and student teacher when simi- larities were observed in ascendency? 126 2. Is there any difference in the perceived effec- tiveness of the student and student teacher when similarities were observed in responsibility? 3. Is there any difference in the perceived effec- tiveness of the student and student teacher when Similarities were observed in emotional stability? 4. Is there any difference in the perceived effec— tiveness of the student and student teacher when similarities were observed in sociability? It was further assumed that if the hypothesis werwe: to be rejected and that if differences were determined, that certain factors in the instructional setting for dis- tuxilciitive education should be analyzed to determine if they were causal. These factors were: (1) time of the school year: Spring classes versus fall; (I!) level of instruction: post-secondary versus secondary; (13) socially secure teachers versus socially insecure teachers. Another aspect of this study was to devise an J'ns‘tlt‘k'unent called the Modified MTAI that would measure the Same four components of personality as the Gordon 127 Personal Profile. The unabridged Minnesota Teachers Atti- tuatle Inventory Test provided the basis for the develOpment c>f' the Modified MTAI. Outcomes Expected The outcomes of this study were presumed to be the f o l lowing: 1. In teacher education programs in distributive edu- cation there would be a greater emphasis in the direction of interpersonal relationship skills. This would occur in the preservice teacher edu- cation programs as well as the in-service approach. 2. Distributive education materials for training teachers as well as students would in effect have to be redesigned in order to emphasize the inter- personal relationship skills. 3. The selection of students for entry into a dis— tributive education program would assume a new dimension, such as matching life styles against some form of pre-determined testing system. 4. Within a given teacher education program further investigation would be undertaken in an attempt to modify teacher behavioral patterns. 5. The entire process of recruitment for a distribu- tive teacher education program might be signifi- cantly changed. in. 1441],. . . ...I.l~I..\III. I. 4.535..” .‘ 128 Procedures In addition to the major hypothesis of this study, 'tliere were two sets of hypotheses that were developed one loeeing procedural the other being substantive. The first :seat of hypotheses was designed to identify the relation- :stiip between perceived effectiveness and four personality czliaracteristics, as well as to determine the similarities loeatween two instruments used to measure identical per- 5 onality components . Procedural Hypotheses: 1. There is no significant difference in the rank correlation coefficient of each of the four factors on the Gordon Personal Profile and the Modified MTAI test taken by the students as it relates to a single class or between classes. There is no significant difference in the rank cor- relation coefficient of each of the four factors on the Gordon Personal Profile test and the Modified MTAI test taken by the student teachers. There is no significant correlation between the agreement index of the student-~student teachers' ratings and the agreement index of the student-— student teachers' ascendency factor of the Gordon Personal Profile in each class. There is no significant correlation between the agreement index of the student——student teachers' ratings and the agreement index of the student-- student teachers' responsibility factor of the Gordon Personal Profile in each class. 129 There is no significant correlation between the agreement index of the student-—student teachers' ratings and the agreement index of the student-— student teachers' emotional stability factor of the Gordon Personal Profile in each class. There is no significant correlation between the agreement index of the student--student teachers' ratings and the agreement index of the student-— student teachers' sociability factor of the Gordon Personal Profile in each class. The second set of hypotheses was substantive, Ineeaning that they were dependent upon the results of the procedural hypotheses for implimentation. Substantive Hypotheses: 7. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the ascendency agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the responsibility agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the emotional stability agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 130 There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the sociability agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring correlated values of the student--student teachers' rating agreement index and the student—-student teachers' ascendency agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring correlated values of the student--student teachers' rating agreement index and the student-~student teachers' responsibility agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. There is no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring correlated values of the student-—student teachers' rating agreement index and the student--student teachers' emotional stability agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall.

There is no significant difference in the ascen— dency average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be Socially secure by the MTAI test and the ascen— dency average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be" socially insecure by the MTAI test. 131 16. There is no significant difference in the responsi- bility average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the responsi- bility average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. 17. There is no significant difference in the emotional stability average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the emotional stability average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. 18. There is no significant difference in the socia- bility average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the socia- bility average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. The POpulation and Sample The population was composed of: (l) twenty—seven available distributive education student teacher coordi- nators from the four approved Minnesota teacher education programs during the spring and fall quarters of 1971; (2) all distributive education students from the assigned student teaching sites. However, only 22 of the 27 stu- dent teachers agreed to participate in the study. In the spring, 14 student teachers and 226 students participated in the research project. During the fall, 8 student teachers and 154 students cooperated with this study. Of the total number of schools involved in the study, 13 were secondary and 7 were post-secondary. 132 Collection of Data In February of 1971, the spring quarter student teachers from each institution were identified and a coding system was devised. Each student teacher was assigned a double letter indicating the school of his student teaching site and the number one for self— identification. The students in each student teachers' class were subsequently identified by the double letter and a chronological numbering system starting with two. Simultaneously with the aforementioned activity, the State Department of Education was contacted and Mr. Ron Strand, then state supervisor of Distributive Edu- cation, wrote a letter to each participating school soliciting cooperation. This preceded the researcher's letter to each of the distributive education teacher— coordinators. At the beginning of March, a meeting was held for each group of student teachers from their respective institutions. The purpose of this meeting was to explain the testing procedure, define the coding system, and administer the MTAI test to each student teacher. The importance of retaining a roster of students with the identification code of each student was emphasized at the meeting. The Gordon Personal Profile and the Modified MTAI tests were also disseminated with the coding instructions on the envelOpe. 133 During the first week of student teaching, the Gordon Personal Profile and the Modified MTAI were taken by the student teacher and each student. The tests were scored. In every class each student's percentile scores for each of the four factors of the Modified MTAI test were ranked and compared with the same student's ranking percentile scores from the identical factor of the Gordon Personal Profile test. The aforementioned operation was processed in an identical manner for all of the student teachers. The Gordon Personal Profile test, which was the main instrument, performed the principle service of measuring life style. The student teacher's percentile scores for ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability on the Gordon Personal Profile were com- pared with his student's percentile scores for the cor- reSponding factor. The above function provided a column of differences for each factor: ascendency, responsi- bility, emotional stability, and sociability in each class; henceforth identified as agreement index A, R, ES, and S. After eight weeks of student teaching, the stu- dents in each class completed the ten-question teacher rating form on their student teacher. The coding on the teacher rating form was the double letter designating the school and the identically assigned number the stu- dent had on his previous tests. 134 In addition, the student teacher completed a ten- question student rating form on each student in his class. The coding on this form was the double letter representing the school and the student's assigned number; thus enabling the scores from the two rating forms to be com- pared with each other. This function produced a column of differences, henceforth to be labeled rating agreement index, for the ratings in each class, which was then com- pared with the Gordon Personal Profile test score agree- ment index for each of the four factors in each represen- tative class. The entire spring process of the study was repli- cated in the fall. Findings Hypothesis 1, there was no significant difference in the rank correlation coefficient of each of the four factors on the Gordon Personal Profile and Modified MTAI tests taken by the students as it related to a single class or between classes, was accepted because by chance three or four correlations should be significant (76 x .05 = 3.8) and only four correlations were significant. Since both the Gordon Personal Profile and Modified MTAI tests contained the same four factors, ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability, the students' percentile scores for each of 135 the four test factors were ranked and compared. A rank correlation was used to analyze the relationship between same factors on each instrument in each of the nineteen classes. Seventy-six rank correlations resulted, of which only four factors, class GG responsibility .578, class KK responsibility .622, class LL emotional stability .513, and class MM sociability .698, were significant at the .05 level. Hypothesis 2, there was no significant difference in the rank correlation coefficient of each of the four factors on the Gordon Personal Profile and Modified MTAI tests taken by the student teachers, was accepted. The nineteen student teachers' percentile scores for the ascendency, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability factors from both the Gordon Personal Profile and Modified MTAI tests were ranked and compared. To analyze the relationship between the same factor on each instrument a rank correlation was utilized. None of the four resulting rank correlations were significant. Hypothesis 3, there was no significant correlation between the rating agreement index and the ascendency agreement index for each class, was rejected for nine classes but was accepted for eleven classes. For the ascendency factor, classes BB (.888019), HH (.855565), KK (.710752), PP (.464961), VV (.337765), YY (.801344), and 22 (.544942) had significant correlations at the 136 .05 level while the correlations for classes AA (.403248) and FF (.298994) were significant at the .10 level. Hypothesis 4, there was no significant correlation between the rating agreement index and the responsibility agreement index in each class, was rejected for nine classes and accepted for eleven classes. Of the twenty correlations pertaining to the responsibility factor, six classes, AA (.663035), DD (.454621), FF (.390978), JJ (.865376), PP (.550565), and ZZ (.708773) were significant at the .05 level and three Classes BB (.477805), 00 (.373605), and CC (.414523) were significant at .10. Hypothesis 5, there was no significant correlation between the rating agreement index and the emotional sta- bility agreement index in each class, was rejected for nine classes but was accepted for eleven classes. The emotional stability factors' significant correlations at .05 level were classes FF (.384197), HH (.539054), KK (.536065), PP (.311454), YY (.721002), and ZZ (.771400). At the .10 level of significance, the classes were EE (.378886), JJ (.572603), and 00 (.346735). Hypothesis 6, there was no significant correlation between the rating agreement index and the sociability agreement index in each class, was rejected for eight classes and accepted for twelve classes. Of the twenty correlations relating to the sociability factor classes BB (.815599), HH (.670045), KK (.775868), PP (.314748), 137 YY (.653553), and ZZ (.627909) had significant correlations at the .05 level while classes VV (.293495) and XX (.548761) were significant at the .10 level. Other pertinent findings concerning Hypotheses 3 through 6 were: 1. Ascendency, responsibility, and emotional sta- bility factors each had nine significant cor- relations while sociability had eight. Thirty-five of a possible eighty correlations were significant and twenty-five of them were significant at the .05 level. Fourteen classes, AA, BB, DD, EE, FF, HH, JJ, KK, 00, PP, VV, YY, and ZZ, had one or more signifi— cant correlations. Three classes, PP, RR, and 22, had significant correlations for all four factors. Four classes, BB, FF, HH, and KK had three sig- nificant correlations, with HH and KK having sig- nificant correlations for the same factors, ascendency, emotional stability, and sociability. Classes BB and FF had significant correlations for ascendency and responsibility factors but the correlation for the third factor differed. Four classes, AA, JJ, 00, and VV, had two sig- nificant correlations each, however JJ and 00 had 138 identical factors, reSponsibility and emotional stability. Class AA had a significant correlation for the responsibility factor also, but differed for the second factor while VV's significant cor- relation were for ascendency and sociability factors. Because none of the computed 2 values exceeded the 2 table value of 1.96 (i.e., .05 level of significance), all four null hypotheses which follow were accepted: 7. 10. There was no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the ascendency agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlatiOn of the high school. There was no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post— secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the responsibility agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. There was no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the emotional stability agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. There was no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of the post- secondaries' correlated values of the rating agreement index and the sociability agreement index as compared with the same average weighted correlation of the high school. 139 Since twelve distributive education student teachers and their assigned classes participated in the spring of 1971 and eight in the fall, the groups were divided accordingly. An average weighted correlation was computed on each group for each of the four Gordon Per- sonal Profile test factors. Each group's average weighted correlation for the same factor was substituted in Fisher's z transformation formula. The resulting 2 values were ascendency 1.318706, responsibility .213457, emotional stability 1.090586, and sociability .732181. None of the computed 2 values for post-secondary and secondary groups exceeded the 2 table value of 1.96. Therefore, the null hypotheses which follow were accepted: 11. There was no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring cor- related values of the student--student teachers' rating agreement index and the student—~student teachers' ascendency agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. 12. There was no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring cor- related values of the student—~student teachers' rating agreement index and the student-~student teachers' responsibility agreement index as com- pared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. 13. There was no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring cor- related values of the student--student teachers' rating agreement index and the student-~student teachers' emotional stability agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. 140 14. There was no significant difference between the average weighted correlation of spring correlated values of the student—-student teachers' rating agreement index and the student--student teachers' sociability agreement index as compared with the average weighted correlation of the fall. There were seven post-secondary and thirteen high school classes for each of the two groups and an average weighted correlation was computed for each of the four Gordon Personal Profile test factors. The average weighted correlations were converted to 2 values and substituted in the z transformation equation. The 2 scores were ascendency -.842067, responsibility -l.085708, emotional stability -.854494, and sociability -.875471. Since the computed z scores for all four factors were greater than the 2 table value of 1.96, the null hypotheses which follow were rejected: 15. There was no significant difference in the ascendency average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the ascendency average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. 16. There was no significant difference in the responsibility average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the responsibility average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged' to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. 141 17. There was no significant difference in the emotional stability average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the emotional stability average weighted cor- relation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. 18. There was no significant difference in the sociability average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were a judged to be socially secure by the MTAI test and the sociability average weighted correlation of the classes in which the student teachers were judged to be socially insecure by the MTAI test. in The same classes were divided into groups a third time. Prior to the student teaching assignment, every student teacher was administered the Minnesota Teachers Attitude Inventory test. According to the test manual, a test score of seventy or above indicated the student teacher was socially secure; below seventy, the student teacher was judged socially insecure. Seven student teachers, assigned to coded classes BB, HH, JJ, KK, PP, RR, and 22, scored seventy or above. The remainder of the twenty classes had student teachers who were judged to be socially insecure. For each of the two groups, an average weighted correlation was computed by multiplying the factor cor- relation for each class by the number of subjects in it; adding the products and dividing the sum by the total number of subjects. Each group's average weighted cor- relation for each factor was converted to z scores and 142 substituted in Fisher's z transformation formula. The resulting 2 values were ascendency 4.790765, responsi— bility 3.904121, emotional stability 3.790871, and sociability 4.716555. Additional pertinent findings for Hypotheses 15 through 18 were: 1. Twenty-five of the possible twenty—eight cor— relations for the classes of the seven socially secure teachers or 89 per cent were significant at the .10 level. 2. Five-sevenths of all significant correlations were recorded in the classes of the seven socially secure teachers. Conclusions l. The Modified MTAI Test, when given to students, does not measure the same four factors of the Gordon Personal Profile Test. This is based on the finding that only four of a possible seventy— six rank correlations were significant. Inadequate pretesting occurred as evidenced by the fact that no correlation was found between the Modified MTAI and Gordon Personal Profile Tests. The Modified MTAI Test was not a substitute for the Gordon Personal Profile Test. This is evidenced by the fact that only four of a possible eighty 143 rank correlations, combining the students and student teachers' rank correlations, were sig- nificant. It is also contended that it is unknown if the Modified MTAI Test will substitute for the Gordon Personal Profile Test under other conditions. It was unclear as to the relationship that existed between the performance and attitude rating of the distributive education student and student teacher and the perceived similarities in the four components of personality, even though thirty-five of the eighty correlations were sig- nificant. It appears something is happening but the implications of the relationship are not known. When each class rating agreement index was compared with each of its four Gordon Personal Profile factor agreement indices, the following major points were observed for the twenty classes: (a) Nine or 45 per cent of the correlations for the ascendency, responsibility, and emotional stability factors were significant; (b) Eight or 40 per cent of the correlations for the sociability factor were significant; (c) Fourteen classes AA, BB, DD, EB, FF, HH, JJ, KK, 00, PP, VV, YY, and 22 had one or more significant correlations; 144 (d) Three classes, PP, YY, and ZZ, showed all four factors significantly correlated; (e) Classes HH and KK had significant correlations for the same three factors, ascendency, emotional stability, and sociability; (f) Classes BB and FF had three significant cor- relations; each had the ascendency and responsibility factor, but the third factor differed; (9) Four classes, AA, JJ, 00, VV, had two sig- nificant correlations each; however, JJ and 00 had identical factors, responsibility and emotional stability while AA also contained a significant correlation for the responsibility factor; (h) Classes DD, EE, and XX had one significant correlation but for different factors. Each of the four factors had at least 40 per cent significant correlation, but the significant correlations for each factor was not consis— tent for each class. The term of the school year had a minimal affect on the performance and attitude rating of student and/or the student teacher. When the spring and fall class groupings were compared, no significant difference was noted. 145 The level of instruction at which a person teaches has a minute affect on the perceived affectiveness of the student and/or the student teacher. When the post-secondary and high school class groupings were compared, no significant differences were observed. In the classes of the socially secure teacher, the perceived similarities in personality of the stu- dent and student teacher affects strongly the per- formance and attitude rating of each other. Even though the primary purpose of the MTAI test was as a control function, it provided the most informa- tive data. When the classes taught by student teachers who were judged socially secure by the MTAI test were compared with the socially insecure teachers' classes, a significance was found in the two groups on each of the four Gordon Personal Profile test factors. It was also observed that the seven socially secure teachers' classes had twenty-five of the thirty—five or five—sevenths of the significant correlations. In addition, in the classes of the socially secure teachers, there was a maximum of twenty-eight possible core relations. This meant that over 89 per cent of the correlations were significant in those classes. 146 Implications and Recommendations The purpose of this study was to determine the affect that perceived similarities in personality had upon the performance and attitude rating of students and student teachers. It was recognized that the concept of personality was an ever developing and an enormously a ZVi encompassing concept which made it extremely difficult, em. if not impossible, to measure. Another dilemma in the study was an individual's F7 perception. It was assumed that an individual would be able to perceive the similarities of another's personality in comparison to his own and to decode these perceptions properly. However, it is a known fact that individual's perceptual ability varies not only in what and how much a person sees, but also, in the persons decoding process of the perceived data. Many variables, such as: emotional state, surrounding conditions, fatigue, and many more, can cause increases or decreases in the perceptual ability of an individual. At the time the instruments of this study were administered, it was virtually impossible to deter— mine the perceptual status of the subjects. In view of the two preceding points, there still was sufficient positive data to support the following implications for Distributive Education. 1. Distributive education teacher education programs should incorporate additional experience that lio’IQEIIIiwllNr . F‘IIJI . I I v 1‘ l 147 would assist the aspiring teacher and teacher- coordinator to become socially secure. Greater emphases should be placed on the maturity process and interpersonal relationship skills. In-service programs should be developed for the socially insecure teachers that would maximize the growth potential of the individual in his pursuit of becoming socially secure. A person's ability to feel secure in social relations and manifest behavior that exhibits that fact is a component of maturity. It was demonstrated that in the classes of the socially secure teacher, twenty-five of the twenty—eight correlations were significant. This would indicate that the students could more readily identify with the socially secure teacher. Cook (37:167-72) defined the socially insecure teacher as one who cannot trust people, has little sense >f humor, has a dominating or overbearing attitude toward 1bordinates (students), becomes frustrated in social Zations and uses aggression in the form of general tility toward people, and asserts that if one knows subject little else matters in teaching. The socially Ire teacher is secure in social relations and there- does not possess the aforementioned traits. 148 Merrill (113), in Interpersonal Identity Profile, indicates the need for persons to become more versatile in their relationships with others. He claims that the more versatile the person is the more capable he is to recognize and meet the needs of others. If this assertion is true, and if this can be considered another dmwmfion of maturity, then efforts should be made to inmnmmrate activities that would help teachers achieve maturity. To the researcher, it seems that the first step towaninmturity is to become responsible for one‘s behavior or actions. One way of achieving this is by having the aspiring teacher, with.the assistance of the teacher-educator, establish goals, objectives, or a set of goals. The aspiring teacher has made a commitment to the objective and it is the function of the teacher- educator to hold the candidate accountable for its com-4 pletion. Inherent in this process is the need for flexi- bility which means a multitude of alternatives available to the candidate, by which his objectives can be met. Through this process, the aspiring teacher now becomes responsible for his actions and thus would develop more self-confidence which in turn would produce a greater sense of security . The following recommendations for further research are generated as a result of this study: 149 To further validate the findings of this study, a replication of the study should be conducted using a broader geographic area and/or a larger population. A study similar to the present investigation should be conducted using a different or an E 1 additional instrument to measure life style. This study should be replicated to include other service areas of vocational education. 1 Research should be undertaken to identify the major characteristics that influence the per- ception of anothers' life style. A study should be conducted to determine the affect that perceived social life style has upon instructional material, more specifically, pro- jects. Presently, a research project has been initiated to explore the affect. The socially insecure teachers' classes had a very low percentage (19%) of significant cor- relations. Additional research should be under- taken to examine the reasons. LIST OF REFERENC ES “'3 {I 1(1. LIST OF REFERENCES Abt, L. E., and Bellak, L. Projective Psychology.

There are times when a teacher cannot be blamed for losing patience with a pupil. A teacher should never discuss sex problems with the pupils. Pupils have it too easy in the modern school. A teacher should not be expected to burden himself with a pupil’s problems. Pupils expect too much help from the teacher in getting their lessons. A teacher should not be expected to sacrifice an evening of recreation in order to visit a child’s home. Most pupils do not make an adequate effort to prepare their lessons. Too many children nowadays are allowed to have their own way. Children’s wants are just as important as those of an adult. The teacher is usually to blame when pupils fail to follow directions. A child should be taught to obey an adult without question. The boastful child is usually over-confident of his ability. 29. Children have a natural tendency to be unruly. A teacher cannot place much faith in the state- ments of pupils. GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE , 1L..- w“ “A."

A pupil should not be required to stand when reciting. The teacher should not be expected to man- age a child if the latter’s parents are unable to do so. A teacher should never acknowledge his ig- norance of a tOpic in the presence of his pupils. Discipline in the modern school is not as strict as it should be. Most pupils lack productive imagination. Standards of work should vary with the pupil. The majority of children take their responsi- bilities seriously. To maintain good discipline in the classroom a teacher needs to be “hard-boiled.” Success is more motivating than failure. Imaginative tales demand the same punish- ment as lying. Every pupil in the sixth grade should have sixth grade reading ability. A good motivating device is the critical com- parison of a pupil’s work with that of other pupils. It is better for a child to be bashful than to be “boy or girl crazy.” . Course grades should never be lowered as punishment. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 80. More “old-fashioned whippings” are needed today. ‘ The child must learn that “teacher knows best.” Increased freedom in the classroom creates confusion. A teacher should not be expected to be sym- pathetic toward truants. Teachers should exercise more authority over their pupils than they do. Discipline problems are the teacher’s greatest worry. The low achiever probably is not working hard enough and applying himself. There is too much emphasis on grading. Most children lack common courtesy toward adults. Aggressive children are the greatest problems. At times it is necessary that the whole class suffer when the teacher is unable to identify the culprit. Many teachers are not severe enough in their dealings with pupils. Children “should be seen and not heard.” A teacher should always have at least a few failures. It is easier to correct discipline problems than it is to prevent them.

A teacher should not tolerate use of slang expressions by his pupils. The child who misbehaves should be made to feel guilty and ashamed of himself. If a child wants to speak or to leave his seat during the class period, he should always get permission from the teacher. Pupils should not respect teachers anymore than any other adults. Throwing of chalk and erasers should always demand severe punishment. Teachers who are liked best probably have a better understanding of their pupils. Most pupils try to make things easier for the teacher.

Most teachers do not give sufficient explana- tion in their teaching. There are too many activities lacking in acad- emic respectability that are being introduced into the curriculum of the modern school. Children should be given more freedom in the classroom than they usually get. Most pupils are unnecessarily thoughtless rel- ative to the teacher’s wishes. Children should not expect talking privileges when adults wish to speak. Pupils are usually slow to “catch on” to new material. Teachers are responsible for knowing the home conditions of every one of their pupils. Pupils can be very boring at times. Children have no business asking questions about sex. Children must be told exactly what to do and how to do it. Most pupils are considerate of their teachers. Whispering should not be tolerated. Shy pupils especially should be required to stand when reciting. Teachers should consider problems of con- duct more seriously than they do. A teacher should never leave the class to its own management. 106. 107. 108. 109. 110. 111. 112. 113. 114. 115. 118. 117. 118. 119. 120. A teacher should not be expected to do more work than he is paid for. There is nothing that can be more irritating than some pupils. “Lack of application” is probably one of the most frequent causes for failure. Young people nowadays are too frivolous. As a rule teachers are too lenient with their pupils. Slow pupils certainly try one’s patience. Grading is of value because of the competition element. Pupils like to annoy the teacher. Children usually will not think for themselves. Classroom rules and regulations must be con- sidered inviolable. Most pupils have too easy a time of it and do not learn to do real work. Children are so likeable that their shortcom- ings can usually be overlooked. A pupil found writing obscene notes should be severely punished. A teacher seldom finds children really enjoy- able. There is usually one best way to do school work which all pupils should follow.

It isn’t practicable to base school work upon children’s interests. It is difficult to understand why some chil- dren want to come to school so early in the morning before opening time. Children that cannot meet the school stand- ards should be dropped. Children are usually too inquisitive. "It is sometimes necessary to break promises made to children. Children today are given too much freedom. One should be able to get along with almost any child. Children are not mature enough to make their own decisions. A child who bites his nails needs to be shamed. Children will think for themselves if permit- ted. There is no excuse for the extreme sensitivity of some children. Children just cannot be trusted. Children should be given reasons for the re- A strictions placed upon them. i 134. Most pupils are not interested in learning. 135.

A pupil should always be fully aware of what is expected of him. There is too much intermingling of the sexes in extra-curricular activities. The child who stutters should be given the opportunity to recite oftener. The teacher should disregard the complaints of the child who constantly talks about imag- inary illnesses. Teachers robably over-emphasize the ser- iousness 0 such pupil behavior as the writing of obscene notes. Teachers should not expect pupils to like them. Children act more civilized than do many adults. Aggressive children require the most atten- tion. Teachers can be in the wrong as well as pupils. Young people today are just as good as those of the past generation. Keeping discipline is not the problem that many teachers claim it to be. A pupil has the right to disagree openly with his teachers. Most pupil misbehavior is done to annoy the teacher. One should not expect pupils to enjoy school. In pupil appraisal effort should not be dis- tinguished from scholarship. O D b O¢0 #0 0(3\CAL C 9. 0V ~Z‘ >9 U) 0— ‘Iofl i!.g [Dido c... , _ p . l 511 ® lNCOPPOPATED IN l92| \9 i?

These descriptions are grouped in sets of four. You are to examine each set and find the one description that is most like you. Then make a solid black mark between the pair of dotted lines following that statement, in the column headed M (Most).

Here is a sample set: has an excellent appetite .......................... 53 55 gets sick very often ............................... l follows a well—balanced diet ....................... H doesn’t get enough exercise ........................ I Suppose that you have read the. four descriptive statements in the sample and have decided that, although several of the staten'ients may apply to you to some degree. “ doesn’t get enough exercise ” is more like you than anv of the oth- ers. You would fill in the space following that statement in the column headed M (Most), as shown in the sample. You would then examine the other three statements to decide which one is least like you. Suppose that gets sick very often ” is less like you than the other two. You would fill in the space following that statement in the column headed L (Least), as shown in the sample above. For every set you should have one and only one mark in the .\l (Most) column. and one and only one mark in the L (Least) column. There should be no marks following two of the statements. In some cases it may be difficult to decide which statements you should mark. Make the best decisions you can. Remember, this is not a test; there are no right or wrong answers. You are to mark certain statements in the way in which they most nearly apply to you. Be sure to mark one statement as being most like you and one as being least like you, leaving two statements unmarked. Do this for every set. Turn the booklet over and begin. J l’wlilislmi lfflii’.
