Abstract	:	This thesis look. at two levels of teacher's roleconception, 'ideal' and classroom. Findings supportedthe premise that there would be variance between these twolevels and between role segments which form part of role.A major aim was to explain the variance between roleconceptiona. The belief was that attitudes and professionalismtogether with constraining influences would affect roleconception.Observational analysis (school visits and actual teaching)was carried out in a selection of comprehensive schools andsome of the data wa~ used in qu.ationnaire formation. Theaample of 86 was drawn from three schools from a schooldivision within the Inner London Education Autbority.It was hypoth.sized that certain constraining influenceswould predominate over others in contributing to the variancebetween role conceptiona. School organization and studentba.ed constraints were of major importance, thus supportingthis hypothesis.Inter-relationship. between variables were examined.Becaus. respondents did not answer acroll the .cale, thesample could DOt be divided on a liberal/conservativedicbotomr a. had been anticipated. Through weightingprocedure. new variable. were created: role legments(dependent variable.) and independent variable., such asconstraint., influence of alters, altars with .imilar viev.,hindered by altera, powerlessness, freedom, employerschange/conflict, professionalism and authoritarianism. Thelatter two variables did not prove to be very significant.However chanae/conflict in relation to role was more prominentthan individual change/conflict itama in the earlier analysisof the data.
