A Semiprofessional Conception of Teaching.
Tom, Alan R.
Social Education, v51 n7 p506-08 Nov-Dec 1987
Examines the Carnegie report in terms of three themes: (1) distrust of teachers; (2) commitment to teacher autonomy that is conditional on achieved results; and (3) a conception of teacher accountability focusing on student performance rather than professional practice. Concludes that the implicit view of the teacher is one of an assembly-line worker being rewarded by a piece-rate formula. (DH)
