Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The researcher is specifically interested in the attitudes of teachers, so examining what they believe about autonomy would be the best pattern to explore. A and C are also potentially relevant patterns, but they do not necessarily address the specific focus on attitude that the researcher is interested in. D is tangential to the research question, as it deals with how attitudes have changed over time rather than the current attitudes of teachers.
