Abstract | In an evaluation of the undergraduate education sequence conducted during the spring 1973 semester, data were obtained by means of a six-page questionnaire sent to a sample of 800 teachers who had graduated from Lehman College since 1968 and who were teaching in public schools located in the New York City area. The survey instrument provided for rating of the undergraduate education sequence, pre-student teaching field experiences, student teaching experience, and overall competency development by means of six-point scales and, in the case of some experiences, a six-point frequency scale. In general, respondents felt that foundation courses had little or no value. Methods and elective courses were also criticized for being irrelevant and not applicable to classroom practice. The majority of respondents suggested an expansion of the field experience program, more actual participation in the schools, and greater involvement with classroom teachers and students. Respondents felt that more time was necessary for the development of competencies required for classroom teaching and that toward this end student teaching should be expanded to two semesters. It is recommended that (a) a concentration in elementary education be established; (b) students be engaged in an introductory education experience as early as possible; (c) the field experience program be broadened and enhanced at all levels; (d) that 5- and 6-year specialist training programs be developed; and (e) training programs be separated into early childhood, elementary, middle, and secondary level.
