A SYMPOSIUM WAS HELD TO DEVELOP A DOCTORAL CURRICULUM FOR VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION. THE FORMAT INVOLVED THE PREPARATION OF WORKING PAPERS, COUNTERPART REACTIONS, AND ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS. ALL 48 PARTICIPANTS RECEIVED COPIES OF THE WORKING PAPERS PRIOR TO THE SYMPOSIUM. PARTICIPANTS WERE BROKEN UP INTO SMALL DISCUSSION GROUPS UPON COMPLETION OF EACH PRESENTATION OF A WORKING PAPER. THEY AGREED THAT A DOCTORAL PROGRAM FOR FUTURE VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL LEADERS IS NECESSARY. IT WAS ALSO PROPOSED THAT BY ITS VERY INTERDISCIPLINARY NATURE THE VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL DOCTORAL PROGRAM SHOULD ENCOMPASS SEMINARS, INTERNSHIP, AND READING SO THAT THE WHOLE PROGRAM WOULD BECOME A LABORATORY AS CONTRASTED WITH A SERIES OF COURSES. THE INTRA-UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE AT RUTGERS WILL ACT UPON THE RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH HAVE COME FROM THE SYMPOSIUM TO DEVELOP A MODEL FOR THE DOCTOR OF EDUCATION MAJOR IN VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
