Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), University of Dayton, Educational Leadership.
This study examined how gender of applicants, degree type of application (online or traditional), and gender of principals responsible for hiring teachers impacted the likelihood of elementary teacher applicants moving forward in the hiring process. The study compared elementary principals' rating of hypothetical candidates for a first grade teaching position. Application of three theories, i.e., teaching as “women's work,” similarity-attraction, and preference for traditional learning, were tested using a 2x2x2 (applicant gender, administrator gender, and type of degree) factorial design analysis of variance with a step-down in which the dependent variables were sequential, based on prior research. The analysis failed to find a difference in the rating of candidates based on their gender, degree type, or the gender of the principal. The failure to find a significant difference must be considered in light of the potential for a Type II error due to the low power of this study.
