A study examined trade and industrial (T&I) vocational teacher education baccalaureate degree requirements at colleges and universities across the country. Questionnaires were sent to all 26 institutions listed in the 1992 "Industrial Teacher Education Directory" as offering undergraduate degrees in vocational education, vocational teacher education, or vocational industrial education. Seventeen institutions responded (a 65.4% response rate). Not a single common course was required by all 17 institutions. Only 5 of the 20 courses mentioned on the questionnaire were required by more than 50% of the responding institutions: 14 (82.4%) required a teaching methods course, 13 (76.5%) required a curriculum development course, 11 (64.7%) required a special populations course, 9 (52.9%) required a measurement and evaluation course, and 9 (52.9%) required a laboratory planning and management. A comparison of the identified course offerings and U.S. Department of Education-recommended T&I teacher education competencies revealed that the programs surveyed are failing to address the area of program planning, development, and evaluation. It was recommended that vocational T&I teachers continue to examine closely the full range of courses taken by aspiring T&I teachers to ensure that changing secondary school curriculum needs are being met.
