Variables Related to Probable Success in Teaching

Elizabeth J. Stiffler

Department of Home Economics, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State 39762

This research investigated the influence of a teacher education program on students' affective or humanistic personality growth. The purpose of the study was: 1) to determine whether graduates of the home economics education program were significantly more self- actualizing and open-minded as seniors than as sophomores; and 2) to determine whether the level of self-actualization and the degree of open-mindedness were related to cognitive predictors of success in teaching. Significant changes in self-actualization and dogmatism, measures of affective growth, were obtained from the sophomore to senior year. Regression models were developed combining selected affective and conventional cognitive indices of teaching success. Both affective and cognitive measures proved to be significant predictors of probable success in teaching home economics.
