- Summary:
-
Faculty and administrators in nine Consortium schools in the Springdale and Fayetteville school districts in Arkansas were polled to determine their opinions on various topics concerning teacher education. The return rate was approximately 42 percent, comprising 1,172 teachers and administrators. The specific purpose of the poll was to obtain opinions on how the respondents viewed their teacher education programs, how they felt about proposals of the Holmes Group, and what they saw as the most serious problem for which they were not prepared as a beginning teacher. The sample as a whole felt that their preparation was adequate in the areas of oral and written communication and in planning and selection of materials. Preparation was felt to be inadequate in the areas of dealing with personal and social problems of students and in diagnosing student needs. Among the Holmes Group proposals the majority of the teachers felt that a four-year teacher education program was sufficient. In analyzing the survey results, comparisons are made between the attitudes of teachers and administrators, and between persons in different age groups, different teaching levels, and with different academic degrees. Responses from the nine schools are also compared. Recommendations are made for improving teacher education programs. (JD)
