Description
Abstract:The central problem of the study was to determine the attitudes of program administrators and instructors at public two-year postsecondary institutions in Texas toward cooperative education and to establish the extent to which differences exist between administrator and instructor attitudes. The objectives of the study were to: (l) determine the attitudes of administrators and instructors toward cooperative education as expressed by the degree of agreement or disagreement with conventional values claimed for the concept with respect to a particular factor (student, employers, institutions, and community); (2) compare the attitudes of administrators and instructors toward cooperative education at two-year postsecondary institutions with similar campus arrangements, locations, enrollments, and of a similar type; (3) compare the attitudes of administrators and instructors toward technical education curricula that include integrated cooperative plans for students at these institutions. Methodology: So that the objectives could be attained the study was divided into two parts consisting of an instrumentation component and a survey component..
