Abstract
An international study of teacher roles has reported Queensland teachers as being more authoritarian and less child-centred than teachers in other Australian states. Similar differences were found between Victoria and Queensland on the same items for university students intending to become teachers. However, scores on an Attitude Inventory taken by the same teacher trainees and other students in engineering, law and medicine in several states at the commencement of their courses suggest that the attitudes pre-date training; as well, it was found that relative “authoritarianism” is characteristic not only of Queensland university teacher-trainees but of Queensland university students generally.
