| Abstract: | The Perceptions of Teaching as a Profession in Higher Education (PTaP.HE) instrument investigates faculty opinions, accuracy of information, and thoughts regarding grade 7-12 teaching. It can be used to gauge the perceived supportive (or unsupportive) nature of a department towards the teaching profession, guide teacher preparation organizations on how to approach faculty, and correlate students' perceptions with their influencers. Results from the Perceptions of Teaching as a Profession (PTaP) instrument--which measures views students have of the grade 7-12 teaching career--prompted the development of such an instrument to measure the perceptions of the grade 7-12 teaching profession in the eyes of those advising and influencing students' opinions of the profession: the faculty. Thirty faculty interviews were conducted from four different institutions of higher education as part of the development of the instrument; results and implications of those interviews are discussed. |
