Darling-Hammond, Linda; Chung, Ruth; Frelow, Fred
Journal of Teacher Education, v53 n4 p286-302 Sep-Oct 2002
Surveyed beginning teachers regarding their views on their preparation for teaching, beliefs and practice, and plans to remain in teaching. Teachers prepared in teacher education programs felt significantly better prepared than those prepared through alternative programs or without preparation. Teachers' views of their preparation varied. The extent to which teachers felt prepared significantly related to their plans to continue teaching. (SM)
