The purpose of this study was to compare attitudes of secondary school teachers in 28 Ohio counties (considered by the Appalachian Regional Commission to be a part of Appalachia) with those of teachers in the remaining 60 counties. A questionnaire of 122 items, 94 of which were attitudinal, was used with a random sample of 600 teachers, 300 each from the 2 regions. Major findings were that the responses of both groups indicated a marked degree of similarity in demographic variables; that more non-Appalachian teachers felt they had received inadequate training than Appalachian teachers; that there is a difference in attitudes between the groups toward job satisfaction; that there is no difference in attitudes between groups toward administrators and other teachers; and that there is no difference in the pattern of response of physical plant adequacy. The major recommendation was that a longitudinal long-range study of the differences in attitudes of teachers in Appalachia with teachers in other areas would be worthwhile. (PS)
