A project was conducted to assess and improve existing field experiences to prepare future industrial arts teachers in Texas. The following activities were accomplished during the project: determination of current field experiences available to industrial arts preparation students in Texas schools; identification of model industrial arts teacher preparation and materials in other states; identification, through a modified Delphi technique, of field experience elements as recommended by teacher educators and industrial arts classroom teachers; and development of a guidebook for use in implementing model field experiences in industrial arts teacher preparation programs. Information from the research conducted during the project was incorporated into a set of recommendations for improving the following aspects of industrial arts teacher education in the State: academic requirements, student teaching assignments, supervising teachers, university curricula, university supervisors, classroom supervising teachers, student teachers, and the public school environment. (Appendixes, which make up the greater part of this report, include a master list of teacher evaluation indicators, three drafts of the instrument used to assess model industrial technology field experience programs, lists of the 15 Texas schools with industrial technology teacher preparation programs and model programs identified through the nation, various project related correspondence, the three rounds of Delphi questionnaires, and quarterly project reports.)
