- Summary:
-
To compare the backgrounds, training, and degree of satisfaction with teaching of secondary and post-secondary academic and vocational teachers, and to obtain the opinions of the teachers and their colleagues in administration and guidance about some important educational issues, a stratified random sample was selected of 180 of the larger public school districts. A post-secondary institution was paired with each secondary school selected, resulting in a sample of 11,649 administrators, counselors, and teachers. Some major findings were: (1) Vocational teachers worked longer hours with fewer students than academic teachers, (2) Changes recommended by teachers were a broad, general education in the high school, a narrower focus on job-related studies in the post-secondary vocational and technical programs, and greater emphasis on mathematics and humanities in the junior college transfer programs, (3) A majority favored more intensive vocational guidance and training in junior high school and more part-time student employment, (4) most teachers recommended a single post-secondary institution embracing both academic and vocational programs, and (5) most respondents felt a combination high school program was feasible for all students if unnecessary requirements were eliminated.
