Researchable Problems and Implications for T & I Education Drawn from the Vocational Education Study.

Overview & Synopsis

Findings are reported of a survey to determine researchable problems or implications for trade and industrial education as they might be stimulated by "The Final Report of The Vocational Education Study, Publication No. 8," directed by Henry David in 1981 for the National Institute of Education. Research questions and implications provided by respondents are listed according to the six sections of the instrument. The sections and frequency of responses are distribution of funds (25), programs and services for special needs students (22), overcoming sex bias and sex stereotyping (21), planning improvement (21), extending and improving programs (16), and strengthening evaluations (17). (The population was comprised of these groups: policy and planning and research committee members of the American Vocational Association's Trade and Industrial Education Division, state and territorial supervisors of trade and industrial education, and individuals listed in the Trade and Industrial Education Research Directory.) The survey instrument is appended. (YLB)
