1976 Follow-up of 1970-76 College of Education Graduates. University of Maine, Orono.
Drummond, Robert J.
This paper gives the results of a followup study of the graduates (1970-76) from the college of Education at the University of Maine at Orono. Questionnaires were sent to randomly selected graduates, 342 of whom responded. Twelve basic topics were covered in the survey: (1) How did you find your present job? (2) What was the most important reason for getting your job? (3) If you had a choice now, what would you do? (4) What was the primary reason for taking present job? (5) How well did your education prepare you for present job? (6) If you were beginning your undergraduate program again, what would you change? (7) What undergraduate courses were most valuable to you (graduates who are in teaching)? (8) What undergraduate courses were least valuable? (9) How would you rate career advisement and guidance? (10) How would you rate program instruction? (11) What competencies were lacking in your first year of teaching? (12) What changes would you recommend in the undergraduate teacher education curriculum? The largest percentage of those responding to this survey were actively teaching; however, many had jobs in other fields. The replies to survey questions are listed in tables, and a sample of the questionnaire is included. (JD)
