Abstract
Abstract: Lindblad, S. 1986. Teachers and Social Class Orientation. An Empirical Note Based on Comparisons with Different Social Classes in Sweden. Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research 30, 181‐192. The study is an exploratory reanalysis of a questionnaire survey of a random probability sample drawn from the economically active population in Sweden. The investigation was carried out in 1980 and includes 1170 subjects. The teachers in the sample were used as a specific category. Their social class orientations were compared with those of different social classes pictured in the sample. The orientations in focus concerned economic contradictions, political preferences, division of labour, and norms of socialization. The results showed that the social class orientations of teachers concerning economic contradictions and political preferences were closest to employers and most distant from workers. In addition, the teachers were the group that was most negative to a vertical division of labour and advocated more liberal socialization norms. These results were empirically related to the social origin of teachers.
