Teachers representing 747 programs in the public junior and/or community colleges and technical institutes were surveyed during the spring of 1973. The study objectives were to: 1. Determine if postsecondary vocational-technical teachers perceive a) formal vocational-technical preservice courses taken in Texas; b) formal inservice vocational-technical teacher-development programs; c) formal courses not specifically designed to provide vocational-technical teacher development and courses taken in an institution outside the state of Texas; or d) experiences other than formal work, as the primary sources of their initial competency in the teaching competencies they need as well as those they already have. 2. Determine if common agreement existed between the perceptions of postsecondary vocational-technical deans and/or directors and their teachers on the teaching competencies which postsecondary vocational-technical deans and/or directors thing their teachers need and do not have. a. Determine those teaching competencies which postsecondary vocational-technical deans and/or directors think their teachers need and do not have. b. Determine those teaching competences in which postsecondary vocational-technical teachers think they need further preparation. ... | en |
