Recruitment to Physics and Mathematics Teaching: A Personality Problem?
Smithers, Alan; Hill, Susan
Research Papers in Education, v4 n1 p3-21 Mar 1989
Results of a British study indicate that, among potential applicants (N=177), a small demand exists for a proposed science education degree program. Findings suggest that recruitment of science and math teachers may be hampered because the satisfactions provided by teaching are unlike those sought by science and math specialists. (IAH)
