Abstract

Greek schoolteachers (the term, as used in this text, signifies only elementary school teachers) do not constitute a homogenous group, since there are differentiations in terms of the gender, age, social origin, studies, viewpoints and preferences of the men and women who teach in Greece’s elementary schools. The survey that was conducted on a representative sample, with the help of Cluster Analysis, has led to the grouping of elementary school teachers into nine clusters on the basis of the common features identified in analysing each group
