American Sociological Review , 33 ( 4 ) Kanter argues; “Commitment is a consideration which arises at the intersection of organizational requisites and personal experience … As such, the concept is of major theoretical importance, since it promises to join structural‐functional considerations with phenomenology.”

  • Warwick , D. 1976 . Op. cit. [28] For example, the ATCDE offered the Robbins Committee the advice that: “The combination of academic and professional education is a distinctive feature of the colleges which we are most anxious to preserve. They are concerned with the education of the students as persons and as teachers, each reinforcing the other.” The evidence presented to the Commons Select Committee argued the same point; see

  • Eason , T.W. 1971 . op. cit. [25] Just as the knowledge which constituted education theory in the 1960s was developed in the universities, so it might similarly be argued that an academic professional methods component had to await an interest in the universities into curriculum issues. Speaking of the college of education, Eason comments: “A deservedly influential volume, Tibbie, J.W. (1966), ed., The Study of Education, Routledge & Kegan Paul, which marked and consolidated the shift from a ‘developmental’ to a ‘disciplinary’ approach to the subject, contains in 250 pages no more than two or three paragraphs on the curriculum.” By the end of the decade the academic interest was becoming very apparent, illustrated by the emergence of journals such as Journal for Curriculum Studies.

  • Times Higher Education Supplement , 10/11/78 In the following weeks there were lengthy replies from tutors in monotechnic colleges disputing this claim of professionalism. In present circumstances, institutions are competing against each other for the recruitment of students by claiming to have the more ‘truly professional degree’. See The Times Higher Education Supplement 24 /11/78.
  • The majority of the education department staff interviewed reported a similar, experience of status marginality within the institution; they appeared, as a result, to be strongly oriented towards teaching and interaction with their students.
