Not So "Significant Others": Problems with the Field-Based Classroom Supervision of Mature-Age, Technical Trainee Teachers.

Mealyea, Robert J.

Australian Journal of Education, v36 n2 p181-201 Aug 1992

A study of 16 middle-aged adults undergoing a career change into teaching investigated their relationships with their practicum supervisors, focusing on sources of tension arising from prior occupational identity and self-concept. A strong effect of prior occupational identity on social dynamics of the classroom supervision process was found. (Author/MSE)
