Selecting "The Best": Entry to Initial Teacher Training in the Colleges of Education in Scotland.

Wilson, John; And Others

Scottish Educational Review, v16 n2 p88-103 Nov 1984

Questionnaires and interviews were used to study the selection of initial teacher training applicants at Scotland's 7 colleges of education, which handled 5,455 applications for 1,657 positions in 1982. Results showed diversity of selection approaches, uncertainty of purpose among selectors, and reliance on a short interview for assessing applicants. (JHZ)
