THE BIBLIOGRAPHY IS ONE OF SEVERAL VOLUMES PURSUING ROLE THEORY, ROLE OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER, AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TEACHER ROLE AND THE PROBLEMS OF TEACHER RECRUITMENT. THREE BIBLIOGRAPHIC STUDIES CONSOLIDATE PREVIOUS RESEARCH IN THE ROLE AREA. TWO ADDITIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHIC STUDIES WERE PREPARED AND ARE REPORTED IN VOLUME D, BIBLIOGRAPHIES ON ROLE METHODOLOGY AND PROPOSITIONS. THESE TWO VOLUMES ARE SIMILAR AND SHOULD BE READ CONSECUTIVELY. A SYSTEMATIC AND TECHNICAL STUDY IS MADE OF THE DOCUMENTS INTERPRETING THE INFORMATION FOR USE IN THE PROPOSED RESEARCH. THE RESULTS SERVE AS A GUIDE FOR TERMS AND CONCEPTS IN ROLE THEORY BY ATTEMPTING TO FIND CENTRAL FOCI AND TO DEVELOP CONSENSUS AS TO TERMS. THE BIBLIOGRAPHY ON ROLE TERMS HAS 67 ENTRIES ANNOTATED WITH DEFINITION OF ROLE TERMS AND CONCEPTS. THERE IS A SUPPLEMENTARY BIBLIOGRAPHY WITH 66 ADDITIONAL ENTRIES. THE CONCEPT OF ROLE CONFLICT IS HANDLED IN A SIMILAR MANNER WITH 52 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHIC ENTRIES (1945-59) DESIGNATING THE NATURE OF THE STUDY (DISCUSSION, EMPIRICAL) AND GIVING ROLE CONFLICT DEFINITIONS. EMPIRICAL STUDIES ARE LIMITED TO THOSE REFERENCES DEALING WITH ASPECTS OF THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER CORRESPONDING IN SOME MANNER WITH THE EMPIRICAL INVESITIGATIONS IN PROGRESS BY THE AUTHORS. THEREFORE, THE ARTICLES FOCUS UPON COGNITIONS HELD ABOUT TEACHERS AND NOT UPON ACTUAL SCHOOL TEACHER BEHAVIOR. FIFTY ANNOTATED REFERENCES (1905-58) ARE LISTED.
