To determine the status of junior high industrial arts programs in Colorado and the importance of the American Vocational Association's (AVA's) 1953 and 1968 goals, questionnaires were mailed to 90 junior high industrial arts teachers, 125 counselors, and 90 principals. Usable returns from 244 (80 percent) respondents revealed that: (1) There was high agreement between the three groups of respondents on the importance of the AVA's goals, but the respondents indicated that more of the goals should be emphasized than is currently the case, (2) All three groups of respondents indicated that AVA's 1953 statement of goals is more descriptive of industrial arts programs as they presently exist and as they should be taught than is the 1968 statement, and (3) The respondents considered industrial arts more important than 60 percent of the 11 other subjects commonly found in junior high schools. It was concluded that industrial arts teachers, principals, and counselors should narrow the gap between the emphasis that should be given the goals of industrial arts and the current emphasis. A sample instrument is appended. (Author/SB)
