Vocational facilities, the influence of teacher involvement in planning and other key elements in the design process upon subsequent teacher satisfaction as determined by post occupancy evaluation
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of teacher involvement in planning vocational facilities and other key elements in the design process upon subsequent teacher satisfaction as determined by post occupancy evaluation of these facilities. To achieve this purpose four operational objectives were established. 1. Determine the degree to which vocational teachers are currently satisfied with their vocational facilities. 2. Determine the degree to which teacher involvement, as perceived by vocational teachers, was present in the planning of these vocational facilities. 3. Determine if a relationship exists between the degree of teacher satisfaction and their relative input into the planning of these vocational facilities. 4. Identify the determining elements that affected the final design outcome of these vocational facilities utilizing educator and architectural information sources and determine the relationship of these elements to subsequent teacher satisfaction. The sample for this descriptive ex post facto field study consisted of vocational teachers, administrators, and architects employed in or associated with 10 school districts having vocational facilities housing programs with specified breadth and diversity which were no older than two years nor younger than six months. All schools were within approximately 200 miles of Houston, Texas. These school districts were identified by Vocational Education Area Consultants employed by the Texas Education Agency. The sample included 120 vocational teachers, 10 school administrators and eight architects. The instrumentation consisted of questionnaires designed and field tested by the researcher. There were three separate instruments specifically targeted for the respective three groups of respondents. The data gathering process for the educators was in person on site by the researcher. The eight architects were contacted initially by letter and followed up by telephone. Descriptive and correlational statistics were the primary statistical techniques utilized to quantify and report the data. In order to organize and present the results of this rather complex data base, a graphic profiling system was developed...
