Inservice Program Implementation of School of Education Guidelines, 1975-6 Enrollees.
Reed, Horace B.; Rindone, Douglas
This is a report of a Teacher Education Council (TEC), School of Education, University of Massachusetts study of 21 inservice programs, and 310 participants, currently enrolled for 1975-76. The research is designed to gain information from inservice enrollees on how well the programs are implementing the TEC inservice guidelines. A 32-item questionnaire provides data concerning each of several guidelines and several demographic issues. The response sample was 33 percent, with a total of 101 returns. Responses from programs varied widely, from 11 percent to 100 percent. Several of the programs had a very small total enrollment. For the total sample, participants generally rate programs quite highly on guideline items. There were a number of items that had many responses in the"don't know/doesn't apply" category. A program comparison analysis of 12 programs (selected for size of responses) indicated marked differences among programs in the number of guideline items rated high or low. The small "n" for several programs requires caution in interpretation of this data. Demographic data indicate a large number of inservice enrollees are working for degrees beyond the master's. Their employment status is rather broadly spread across school roles. Motivations for involvement in inservice programs are largely in "professional,""enlarging work dimension," and "degree seeking" categories, as well as "salary increases." Detailed information on all questionnaire items, for the total sample, and for the 12 programs, is available in the full report. Implications and recommendations are also presented. (Author)
