Teachers' Thinking and Behavior. An Empirical Study of the Role of Social Sensitivity and Moral Reasoning in the Teaching Performance of Student Teachers.

Bergem, Trygve

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v30 n4 p193-203 1986

This study tested the assumption of a moral component in teacher behavior. Student-teaching performance was rated according to 14 different scales, using supervising teachers as raters. Results indicated that individual differences in social sensitivity were significantly related to differences in teacher ratings, while individual differences in moral reasoning were not.
