    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture JOB SATISFACTION OF EXPERIENCED AND NOVICE MUSIC TEACHERS IN HIGH-POVERTY URBAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS A Dissertation in Music Education by Robert Kenneth Docker Copyright 2012 Robert Kenneth Docker Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August, 2012 ii The dissertation of Robert Kenneth Docker was reviewed and approved* by the following Linda Thornton Associate Professor of Music Education Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Robert Gardner Assistant Professor of Music Education Kim Cook Professor of Music Marylee Taylor Associate Professor of Sociology Joanne Rutkowski Music Education Department Chair * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract This study involved music teachers in six large urban districts in the United States. Job satisfaction was studied as it relates to teacher attrition from high poverty urban schools. Data on teacher characteristics, school characteristics and teacher attitudes and opinions were collected to determine common factors among experienced teachers in high-poverty urban schools. Regression analysis was used to determine predictive factors for music teacher job satisfaction, as well as the teacher's attrition or retention decisions in a high-poverty urban school setting. The confidential questionnaire included teacher demographic items and Likert- style items to gauge teacher attitudes and opinions. School demographic data were collected from NCES databanks. The majority of music teachers were white and from middle-class backgrounds. Novices were more likely to teach on a stage or in a multi-purpose room rather than a designated music room. Experienced teachers generally scored higher on measures of attitudes and opinions of their jobs than did their Novice counterparts.
