The Consortium commissioned the present study to investigate the framework's impact. The purpose of this study, as commissioned by the Consortium, was to study perceptions of Texas principals and assistant principals regarding: (a) the extent to which nine generic skills were developed in their university administrator preparation programs; and (b) the frequency and effectiveness of instructional modes used to develop those nine generic skills. Additionally, principals and assistant principals were provided the opportunity to select the instructional modes which they believed were ideal for developing the nine generic skills. Survey research methodology was used to obtain accurate estimates about the population of interest. Stratified cluster sampling procedures were used to select randomly 400 principals and assistant principals from Texas public elementary, middle, and high schools. A usable response rate of 82.1% was achieved. Follow-up telephone interviews were conducted with an "Informed Subsample" of 40 respondents to supplement and enrich the data obtained from the entire sample of principals. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSSx) was used to analyze the written responses; a data-based debate procedure was used to classify open-ended responses. The modal responses on the written questionnaires indicated that most of the nine generic skills were moderately developed in the university administrator preparation programs of the respondents. "Lecture and Discussion" was the most frequently used instructional mode for developing these skills. Most of the instructional modes used were moderately effective. The "Internship" was the preferred instructional mode. The respondents recommended that increased emphasis be placed on field-based experiences in university administrator preparation programs. According to the respondents, these programs should provide a current, practical curriculum delivered by professors who have had recent experience in the field, and by practicing administrators.
