Abstract

This study was conducted with the co-operation of the 1969 second-year students of Palmerston North Teachers College. I am also grateful to the Principal, the staff of the College and in particular my colleagues in the Education Department, for their help and the use of College facilities. I am especially grateful to Mr A. Forrest, Senior Lecturer in Education, Palmerston North Teachers College, without whose encouragement and assistance this work may not have been completed, and to Mr D. McAlpine, Senior Lecturer in Education, Massey University, for his help in planning and executing this study.
