A Teacher’s Self-Transformation in a Junior High School: The Effects of STEP and the Verification through PAC Analysis.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine self-transformation of a junior high school teacher through PAC (personal attitude construct) analysis. The result of cluster analysis showed two groups of the dendrogram, the first-third cluster and the fourth-fifth cluster. The former included three clusters that implied changed-self: the first cluster meant the image of true education, the second meant the image of his way of life, and the third meant the system of his belief, which was influenced by STEP (Systematic Training for Effective Parenting) learning, and the third cluster supported the first and second clusters. On the other hand, the latter included two clusters: the fourth cluster meant the readjustment of his past, and the fifth meant a trifling embarrassment after his own change. Through his dictation, the change was discussed from a point of view of individual and common universalities, and the effects of STEP learning, as well as the viewpoint of the crisis of the middle age.
