The Purdue Student Teacher Opinionnaire was administered to 142 student teachers in an attempt to measure differences in attitude between student teachers in different preparation programs, in different student teaching situatuions, and in different program situation interactions. The following factors were examined to determine whether attitudes toward them differed significantly among the selected students: (1) rapport with cooperating teachers, (2) rapport with principal, (3) teaching as a profession, (4) rapport with university supervisor, and (5) professional preparation. The study found significantly more positive attitudes towards the five factors among early childhood and elementary students compared to special education students. No differences were found by placement situation. Significant correlations were found between Rapport with Cooperating Teacher and Rapport with University Supervisor. The study strongly suggests that the variables influencing the attitudes a student forms during his professional training and student teaching experiences are complex and require a search for adequate models of supervision and the types of situations that produce acceptance and enthusiasm in the student.
