Teachers' opinions about the roles of subject specialists and generalist instructors for early adolescents
Abstract
This study is essentially exploratory in nature due to a paucity of research concerning teacher
opinions about subject specialists and generalist instructors for early adolescents.
The purpose of the study is to examine teachers' expressed preferences for the use of subject
specialists at upper elementary school levels and Grade 9 and the relevant factors associated with
their opinions.
Data were obtained through the use of a survey questionnaire and analyzed by employing descriptive
and inferential statistics.
The results of the study revealed some significant diversities along with some similarities in the
opinions of secondary participants and their elementary counterparts. The results may suggest a
need for increased use of subject specialists at the upper
elementary level.
