Attitudes Expressed by Montana High School Home Economics Teachers Concerning Career Education.
Tingey, Lana Mae Thomas
The purpose of a study was to determine (1) Montana high school home economics teachers' attitudes toward career education, and (2) if a significant relationship existed between selected variables and these attitudes. A previously tested questionnaire was partially redesigned and mailed to 200 high school home economics teachers in Montana. Respondents (169 or 84.5%) showed positive attitudes toward career preparation in high school, combining school and employment, local funding of career education, career education principles, and incorporating it into subject matter courses. Magazines and journals, Office of Public Instruction, and books were the most popular sources of career education information. There was a relationship between (1) vocational funding and integration of career education, and (2) sources of information and school size. No relationship existed between sources of information and (1) age of respondent and (2) years of experience. And no relationship existed between attitudes toward career preparation in high school and (1) age of respondent, (2) years of experience, (3) school size, (4) F.H.A. chapters, and (5) integration of career education.
