Abstract

In this study it was found that teachers' own views on pupil control predicted their pupil control behavior, while organizational pressures represented by teacher perceptions of the pupil control views of colleagues and the principal failed to do so. It was also found that teachers perceived their colleagues and the principal to hold more custodial pupil control views than were actually held. The explanation was advanced that teachers behave in relatively custodial ways in places of high visibility to colleagues, but behave more in line with their own views in the classroom.
