Abstract | A study was conducted to determine political values of secondary school teachers. Two hundred and two social studies teachers from 24 public high schools in Missouri served as a sample population. The survey instrument contained questions on political involvement and various personal background characteristics. The results indicated that Missouri social studies teachers valued liberalism over conservatism; decentralization of government power over centralization; a controlled economy over a free economy; individually regulated birth control measures over government regulation; concern for underpriviledged groups over self-concern; dissent over acquiescence; and concern for domestic welfare over maintenance of national prestige. The social studies teachers who are older, have taught a greater number of years, belong to a greater number of professional organizations, and have an undergraduate major in history have a greater amount of political involvement and tend to be more liberal than conservative.
