- Summary:
-
Joint action among teachers appears to depend on the teachers' perceptions of their interdependence and the presence of opportunities for joint action. An urban middle school had been organized into teams on several levels with strong support from the principal. Three situations that altered these operating procedures provided evidence that teachers are more likely to cooperate to solve their problems when they feel their problems are shared and when barriers to common action are reduced. The three situations involved an influx of student teachers, turnover among members of established teams, and the appointment of a new school principal less committed to the team approach. The study suggested that three kinds of joint action can be identified: coordinated activity, conducted individually but similarly; accommodating activity, involving individual adjustments in response to others' needs; and cooperative activity, the mutual, face-to-face interaction of teachers to achieve a joint goal. This report concludes by suggesting that a larger study focusing on the conditions and factors affecting joint action rather than on visible evidence of teaming seems called for. (PGD)
