The large scale/ Quantitative nature means the research loses sight of the unique and individualistic nature of the participants. This is a concern because although a large number of teachers were questioned.... how many actually wanted to or have the potential to be head teachers? I feel becoming a head teacher is not for everyone in education.
No details on the who really..dont know male/female, age, backgrounds etc
Uses the SPSS software to calculate scores. but this appears to flattern the results. Although claims are made than a certain factor has more or less effect than most, but most of the results seem to be in and around the "undecided" value of 3.
