Concerns of Teachers: Research and Reconceptualization.

Abstract

ed from these six contingency tables and the results of the six tests performed. Insert Table l2 about here Significantly more preservice teachers expressed A and L concerns while more inservice teachers expressed N and E concerns. All these differences are in the predicted direction.. Concerns posited to be early concerns are more typical of preservice teachers while concerns posited to be late concerns are more typical of inservice teachers. For two categories however, R and T, there were no differences. This was not unexpected however. R concerns were infrequently expressed, and T had been considered difficult to place at either the early or late end of the sequence. Inservice and preservice range. If concerns are related to experience, then the concerns of preservice teachers being lower would have room to increase, and might be increasing. The concerns of inservice teachers would be expected to be higher-, have less %17 room to increase, and more)to decrease, but shoull uut be decreasing. Consequently preservice teachers might have concerns all along the sequence, low, middle, and high. Inservice teachers on the other hand would have middle and high concerns, but few low concerns. If this is so. preservice teachers' range scores should be higher than those, of inservice teachers. The data in Table 3 indicate a trend in the expected direction
