摘要:This study utilized findings from the 2010 decennial study of the school superintendent to determine
the extent to which four predictor variables (courses, professor credibility, size [enrollment of
employing school district], and gender) accounted for variability in superintendent overall ratings of
their academic preparation. The standardized regression coefficients indicate that most of the variance
accounted for in the linear equation was due to ratings of professor credibility and ratings of the
perceived value of courses. Neither the institutional variable, school district size, nor the personal
variable, gender, accounted for meaningful variance in the overall ratings. Recommendations are made
for extending this line of inquiry.
