Comparing Attitudes of Teachers in Two Different Cultures.
Bhushan, Vidya
This study was conducted to determine whether the administration of translation of an English language, teacher attitude test to teachers of other cultures would measure the same things as does its English original. The Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory (MTAI) was given to 509 French Canadian elementary school teachers, and the factor structure of their responses was compared to the five factors of the MTAI identified by Yee and Fruchter as defining the inventory's construct validity. Neither empirical techniques nor subjective comparison showed any perfect correspondence between the factor structures of attitudes of the two cultures. The subjective comparison, which indicated a better correspondence, showed that nearly fifty percent of the contents were common to the two cultures. (Author/MB)
