Perceptions of Female Vocational Faculty Members as Seen by Themselves and College Administrators.
King, Elizabeth Camp
The study consists of four main parts and was designed to: (1) ascertain the perceptions of public community college presidents regarding professional women vocational faculty; (2) ascertain the perceptions of female vocational education faculty members at such colleges; (3) compare those perceptions; and (4) determine the demographic characteristics of professional women in vocational education at the public community colleges. The perceptions sought were of: dual-role conflict, advancement possibilities, and career aspirations. An equalitarian perception scale and a female demographic data questionnaire were sent to randomly selected college presidents and female faculty. The findings are presented in both graphic and tabular form, with textual explication and discussion. It was found that both the college presidents and the women faculty members perceive some degree of role conflict in the women; administrators and women faculty agreed that women were not as likely to achieve positions of leadership as men, although the administrators perceived more opportunity for the women than the women themselves did. Administrators perceived in women faculty only moderate career aspiration; the findings from the women's sample upheld that perception. (AJ)
