Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of how Texas university administrative internship supervisors or department heads would assess the administration internships offered for public school administrators on their respective campuses. The necessary information was obtained through the use of an instrument designed specifically to measure the status of Texas administrative internship programs. Ninety-six percent (24 of 25) of Texas institutions of higher education that offered the administrative internship participated in the study. Descriptive data was analyzed through the use of frequency distributions. Analysis of variance was used to determine the statistical relationship between the present and ideal status of selected internship variables. Analysis of variance was also used to determine the statistical relationship between groups, that is, in regard to enrollment, public or private institutions, masters or doctoral degree institutions, and university internship supervisors or department heads, for selected internship variables. The perceptions of the respondents revealed that significant differences existed between trials in most internship variables tested. The variables most significant were those concerning the financing of the internship program, credit hours for university internship supervisors, participation of cooperating administrators, placement of interns, and various other internship activities required of either the university internship supervisor, the intern, or the cooperating administrator..
