Measuring educational leadership attitudes

Abstract

This study was to develop and evaluate an instrument to measure the attitudes with which teachers and administrators view various problem areas pertaining to the social role of the teacher. A self-administered attitude questionnaire was given to 515 teachers and administrators of 41 schools (14 school systems in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and New York.) A table compares some of the personal and social characteristics of these respondents with those of educators in typical city school situations. Results are discussed in seven brief sections, and a number of recommendations for improving the measuring instrument are made. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
