To determine whether change orientation was a measurable characteristic of vocational teachers, an instrument was developed consisting of eight attitude subscales designed to measure change orientations relating to: (1) reducing the number of under-prepared people entering the labor market, (2) meeting the needs of disadvantaged students, (3) preparing for employment at an earlier age, (4) cooperative education, (5) individualized instruction and behavioral objectives, (6) adult education, (7) team teaching and differentiated staffing, and (8) core vocational curriculum. The instrument plus a biographical data sheet and versions of scales measuring internal-external control and dogmatic, conservative, and cosmopolitan points of view were sent to two groups of 125 teachers each, in 38 states, representing "early adopters" and "laggards". Analysis of data from 78 percent of the "early adopters" and 69 percent of the "laggards" revealed that change orientation is a measurable characteristic of vocational teachers. The instrument holds promise for further research efforts to determine the utility of the change orientation concept. (Author/SB)
