Special Education Teacher Preparation: A Synthesis of Four Research Studies.
McLaughlin, Margaret J.; And Others
Exceptional Children, v55 n3 p215-21 Nov 1988
Four studies on special education teacher training were conducted: two surveys of individual states' manpower needs, a survey of preservice special education majors, and interviews with special education faculty from five states. Results revealed conflicting perceptions of teaching competencies, mismatches between training and job expectations, and governmental influences on special education. (Author/JDD)
