- Summary:
-
This study suggests that, given the way public schools are presently organized, teacher styles seem to make very little difference in the degree to which the traditional values of work, time, authority, order, and perhaps achievement are emphasized. One can infer that children attending public school, in whatever permutation, will find that traditional norms form a hidden curriculum to which they must adhere. The study, though limited to intensive research in four elementary classrooms, does suggest that if the constraints outlined in the research are truly functional requisites of the institution, it can be surmised that the degree of change possible in the public schools is limited by institutional needs for order, conformity, time schedules, and work. Teacher behavior will continue to emphasize these management/control needs so long as schools and the society in which they exist remain so structured. (Author/MJB)
