Cognitive Style and Perceptions of the Ideal Teacher

Coward, Raymond T.; And Others

Contemporary Educational Psychology, 3, 3, 232-8, Jul 78

The hypothesis that field-independent students rank task-oriented characteristics as important in the "ideal teacher," and conversely, that field-dependent students rank socially-oriented characteristics as important was not confirmed. The small tendency for field-dependent students to prefer teacher traits in which they themselves are deficient deserves further study. (Author/CP)
