(28) teaching behaviors as practiced not often to never compared
to only ten (10) rare teaching practices reported by
psychologists. Of the behaviors reported as rare by
psychologists, nine were also rarely (not often) to never
practiced by community college respondents in this study.
Community college faculty participants in this study were
more conservative in their report of teaching practices and
ethical beliefs than were their psychologists counterparts.
Actually, the participants in this study were more conservative
overall in practices and beliefs.
In the Tabachnick study of psychologists as teachers, men
were more likely than women to report sexual attraction to
students; have sexual fantasies about students; and become
sexually involved with students after the course ended and a
grade has been issued. In this study, female respondents were
found to report more often engagement in sexual comments and
behavior than male respondents. It is important to be careful
about placing too much emphasis on this finding, since the mean
responses were very low. It is, nonetheless, an interesting
issue for more examination.
Conclusions
Although only 19% of the sample population responded, some
tentative generalizations can be drawn from the data in this
study about the ethical beliefs and behaviors of all teaching
