Are you a teacher or guidance counselor looking for an accessible reference guide? This revised edition of a popular 1993 anthology includes 120 tests and surveys, bringing together psychometric information about instruments developed to measure constructs in education and social sciences. Includes references to both published and unpublished instruments-scales, questionnaires, surveys, indices, and inventories-which otherwise would be painstakingly difficult for the researcher/teacher/counselor to locate.

Originally published in 1984, the field of research on teaching had expanded dramatically in the 15 years covered by this bibliography, 1965 to 1980. The expansion had included studies conducted for many purposes. This bibliography contains relevant citations to the research which has been conducted for the purposes of increasing our understanding of the science, art and craft of teaching. The existence of research publications has been documented with relevant reference information and brief annotations; there has been no attempt to evaluate the quality of the studies. A brief perusal of the bibliography provides an indication of the range of topics addressed by these studies and also of the variety of studies within a single topic.

ABSTRACT: Florida, along with the entire United States, is facing a critical teacher shortage. The need to attract and retain qualified, motivated teachers is imperative if the education system is to continue to deliver quality instruction to all children. Studies (Jones & Hodgson, 1998; Kinman, 2001; Travers & Cooper, 1991) show that teaching is a high-stress occupation with teachers reporting the lowest levels of job satisfaction compared to many other occupations. Teachers report high levels of depression and anxiety, and are in poorer mental health in comparison to other occupational groups. Allowing teachers to be leaders within the education community may facilitate increased job satisfaction and therefore attract and retain the best people. My study investigated the extent to which middle school teachers participate in leadership roles and how such participation affects individual job satisfaction. I examined personal demographics and school demographics, and the interaction of these variables with leadership and job satisfaction.

Teachers’ attitudes have been a subject of study and interest for many years. Originally published in 1986, this bibliography attempts to review the large field of research between the years 1965 and 1984. To identify all the sources of information, and to list documents that discuss research on teachers’ attitudes. It does not include an assessment of the quality of the research reported in the listed documents, however, the value is in its comprehensiveness. Users of the bibliography can locate the listed studies and then evaluate the studies using criteria relevant to their individual purposes.
