The Role of Trust in Secondary School Music Teaching Faculties

Abstract

The study of trust in schools has often been neglected as an area of research, especially in examining teacher-to-teacher relationships. Secondary School Music teaching faculties appear to have received very little attention. Gaining insight into (1) what factors develop or hinder trust – or, indeed, create distrust – and (2) whether these factors are different from those affecting other subject faculties will contribute to an increase in the effectiveness of these music teacher-professionals.
