Illovsky, Michael E.
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, v22 n3 p238-245 2010
This is a study of 57 graduate students and 229 undergraduate students in classes preparing them to be teachers. The survey extended over a period of five years, involving 14 classes in a college of education. Using the Personality Research Form scales to compare the psychological aspects of undergraduate and graduate college of education students, t-test results indicated that graduate students scored higher on Achievement, Harmavoidance, Understanding, and Desirability. All other comparisons were not significant using the present criteria. (Contains 1 table.)
