Motives and circumstances
I Want to See Some Kind of Growth out of Them”
The crisis in teacher recruitment has focused attention on the public service ethic of teacher-education students. After reviewing existing conceptions of teacher service, we report findings from a multimethod study of more than 400 candidates for secondary education certification. Survey results show service aims to be potent factors attracting traditional college-age students to teaching, though somewhat less evident among nontraditional studen…

Negative outcomes, mainly in the form of test failures, occurred di…
Social Adaptation in the High School
The correlates of student adaptation: School size seems unimportant
Students' Attitudes towards High School Governance
This research focuses on attitudes of high school students towards the protection of civil liberties in school governance policies. Results of a factor analysis of responses to a student rights questionnaire indicate that pupils offer only conditional support for the exercise of individual freedoms. Little support exists for civil liberties when the exercise of those liberties is seen as threatening the interests of peer group members. Finally, t…
