Is Preservice Teacher Training Worth the Money? A Study of Teachers in Ethnic Minority Regions of the People's Republic of China.
Chapman, David W.; Chen, Xiaoyu; Postiglione, Gerard A.
Comparative Education Review, v44 n3 p300-28 Aug 2000
Among 2,357 elementary and secondary teachers in rural ethnic-minority regions of China, teacher's use of classroom instructional time and overall professional time was strongly influenced by grade level taught and somewhat influenced at the elementary level by teacher's preservice training. Results suggest that Chinese investments in preservice teacher training influenced educational quality, but not much. (SV)
