personnel--probationary teachers, heads of departments, and
deans of instruction--reported on the problems of junior
college instructors (32). The problems listed were defined
as professional problems related to the teaching job and
did not include personal problems. The problem categories
considered were: knowledge of the subject matter, supplies
and materials, relations with students, relations with
administration, and teaching methods and techniques. The
study found that the top six problems listed in order of
the total responses from the study check lists were:
"1. Being able to stimulate all students to
approach their potential.
M2 . Finding time to broaden my scope while gaining
depth in my specialty.
M3. Helping students to improve study habits.
"4. Heavy teaching load leaves little time for
research or other creative activities.
M5. Stimulating students to seek answers on their
own.
"6. Having adequate time for preparation."
In addition, the study revealed that the number of
problems were greatest among women teachers, younger
teachers, and among inexperienced teachers. The study
concluded that:
"1. Teacher feelings of need for help fell in
different areas than those in which the administrators
felt new instructors needed help.
"2. Differences in responses among the three
groups -- teachers, department heads and deans--
indicated lack of communication.
