An Analysis of Pupil Control Ideology of Primary Teachers From Different Variables
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to analyse pupil control ideology of primary
(classroom) teachers. 176 primary teachers working in elementary schools from Nigde province and its
districts constituted the sample of the research. The “survey method” was employed in this research. The
data of this research were collected by using the “Pupil Control Ideology Scale”. In order to analyse the
data obtained, mean, standard deviation, the independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA analysis were
used. Results of this study show that primary teachers had “humanistic pupil control ideology” in general.
Also, it was found out that there was not a statistical significant difference between primary school
teachers in terms of gender. On the other hand, it was found a statistical significant difference between
primary teachers in relation to occupational seniority in favour of younger teachers. It was also found out
that there were statistical significant differences between primary teachers in terms of educational level
and settlement place of school variables in favour of teachers with postgraduate level of education and
working in schools in the city centre.
