Development and Implementation of Program Models for Assisting Vocational Teachers in Dealing with the Educationally Disadvantaged, Handicapped, and Minorities. Final Report.
Meers, Gary D.
The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate pre- and inservice models for the delivery of informational services to vocational teachers of special needs youth. The preservice model was campus-based and designed for undergraduate vocational students. The inservice model was field-based and designed for vocational teachers presently teaching in classrooms and laboratories. A special vocational needs attitude scale was developed and used to assess the attitudinal changes that occurred as a result of the inservice workshop treatment. Four two-day workshops for inservice vocational teachers were conducted throughout the state of Nebraska, involving a total of 120 teachers. The following conclusions are based upon the analysis of data and the nonstatistical observations: The workshop training assisted the participants in achieving a greater understanding and sensitivity to learners who are handicapped, members of minorities, or disadvantaged; the special vocational needs attitude scale served as a measure of treatment effectiveness as well as a focusing agent; the workshop model served well throughout the project and was transportable throughout the state; and the components of the preservice model were integrated into teacher preparation programs for vocational teachers. The attitude scale, a sample resource packet, the slide-tape narration, and the workshop outline are included in the appendixes of this document. (Author/BM)
