摘要
The feasibility of requiring a master's degree for teachers is explored. Several states that require teachers to obtain a master's degree are identified. Evidence on the impact of a master's degree or advanced study on teaching effectiveness is reviewed to show that the relationship between graduate study and teaching success is modest. The cost of such a proposal in Virginia is esti mated. On the basis of policy considerations, empirical data, and the cost analysis, it is con cluded that a universal master's degree requirement is an inefficient method for improving ele mentary and secondary education. © 1990, Sage Publications.
