The Reading Profession - A Status Report.
Wares, Margaret Bonds
The purpose of this study was to investigate the reading professional in the post high school institution offering technical curricula. The status and role of the reading professional were researched by ascertaining his opinions and those of his dean of instruction. One hundred two-year colleges were randomly selected from "Ferguson's Guide to Two Year College Programs for Technicians and Specialists". Identical opinionnaires were sent to the reading specialists and deans. An information sheet was attached to the reading specialists' opinionnaire. The replies were compiled by item to show opinions on eleven specific questions. Tables showing agreement or disagreement by percentage of reading specialists and deans on these questions are included. (Author/SW)
