Abstract
The student teaching experience was investigated for changes in attitudes as determined by pre- and post-responses to the MTAI. Further, inventory statements were categorized and placed in five dimensions. The total results were treated by the t test and no significant changes resulted. The analysis of variance was applied to the dimensional MTAI responses. A significant difference between dimensions (P = 3.80 < .05) resulted. No significant treatment or Interaction differences occurred. When the simple effects were evaluated by the 8ign Test, only one of the five dimensions revealed a significant shift In attitude. The results suggest that attitude changes resulting from experimental condition may be more appropriately evaluated by Inspecting the dimensions of the change.
