Abstract

Concern in teaching denotes the tendency of being more preoccupied about a given aspect of teaching than to another. In this study an attempt is made to look at the variation of its occurrence interms oflevels of experience (s 5 years, 6-14 years, ~ 15 years), sex (male, female) and qualification (Diploma, TIl) ofteachers Questionnaires were given to 503 teachers who were instructors of 25 selected schools from Addis Ababa region from which 425 questionnaires were collected. After removing those whose initial and later qualification appeared different and those who were attending further education, only 249 were found most appropriate for the study. By random sampling 120 were taken from this target population; 10 from each cluster of experience, sex and qualification. The multivariate and univariate analyses indicated a significantly higher level of self concern for less experienced teachcrs. Also females were found to have higher self concern than males with no variation for the qualification lcvels. Regarding task concern both medium and highly experienced teachers depicted greater concern compared to less experienced ones though the difference between the two was non-significant. Also sex as well as qualification differences were non-significant. As to student concern, highly experienced teachers showed a statistically higher concern over less experienced teachers while the difference with mcdium experienced teachers was nonsignificant. Difference interms of sex was observed for female teachers showing higher student concen! than male teachers. But no difference was observed between Diploma and TIl qualified teachers. Based on these rcsults, possible explanations, conclusions and recommendations were made.
