- Summary:
-
The thesis of this paper is that vocational education and the persons it espouses to serve deserve the potential benefits of research and development which are not being maximized at the present time. Following a brief summary of vocational education legislation, the general efficiency and ability of the research and development program is critically reviewed in terms of policies, personnel, and coordination. Factors that inhibit optimum research and development are: (1) Lack of adequate numbers of trained vocational education researchers, (2) lack of confidence in vocational educators by the U. S. Commissioner of Education, (3) problems in developing an organization structure for research, (4) lack of long-range priorities and planning mechanisms, (5) continuous reorganization within the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, (6) magnitude and continuity of funding, (7) lack of "hard money" research positions, (8) expectations of research, and (9) money siphoned off to support other activities. Five conditions are described which, if met, would contribute substantially to a more effective research and development program. (Author/RG)
