A study of the perceived problems of open and close-minded selected inner-city teachers of Catholic elementary schools in Chicago

The purposes of this study were (1) to identify through the Teacher Problem Inventory the perceived problems of selected teachers of two different types of Catholic elementary inner-city schools in Chicago and (2) to compare through the California F-Scale the perceived problems of open and closed-minded inner-city teachers of selected Catholic elementary schools in Chicago. Responses of the teachers to the Teacher Problem Inventory were considered in relation to the teachers': age, sex, race, number of years taught in the inner-city, type of schools, open or closed-minded and religious or lay teachers provided the basis for data analysis.
