This field study examines the acceptance of role
behaviours by teacher librarians in A.C.T. government
schools and what influences that acceptance. Acceptance
of behaviours is measured by an instrument compiled and
developed through factor analysis for this field study.
The influences examined are a series of environmental
(context) and personal (presage) variables.
Data are gathered through survey and questionnaire.
Hypotheses are tested initially with product moment
correlations, and examined in more detail with partial
correlations designed to control the influence of
extraneous variables.
The attitudes of teacher librarians to classroom
teaching practices are also related to both acceptance
of role behaviours and the presage and context variables.
Results indicate that context variables are least
important in influencing acceptance of role behaviours,
while the education and library training of the teacher
librarian are the most important of the presage variables
examined. Teacher librarians are found to be particularly
reluctant to accept leadership behaviours.
