| dc.description.abstract | This study was a cooperative effort of the Texas Education Agency and Texas A&M University to determine the status and trends of industrial arts instruction in the public schools of Texas. Every public secondary school in Texas having an industrial arts program was surveyed to gather the information necessary to the study. The respondents were industrial arts teachers and secondary school principals. There were 926 industrial arts teachers of approximately 1,600 in the state and 601 principals of 868 public secondary schools who participated in the study. The study was conducted during the fall semester of the 1968-69 school year. Purpose of the study: The following questions were posed in an attempt to determine current practices and trends. 1. What is the nature and scope of curriculum offerings in industrial arts? 2. What objectives of industrial arts are emphasized by teachers and principals? 3. How adequate are industrial arts facilities? 4. To what extent does the size and type of school affect the availability of industrial arts offerings? 5. What are the major problems with which industrial arts teachers are concerned? 6. What changes are being made in an effort to up-grade industrial arts programs? 7. What are the professional qualifications of industrial arts teachers? Two questionnaires, one completed by industrial arts teachers and the other by secondary school principals, provided data with respect to industrial arts programs, facilities, and teachers.. | en |
