| Abstract | In 1984, Congress reauthorized its mandate for the National Center for Education Statistics to collect data on vocational education students, programs, and teachers. This report is based on the Public School Survey, 1985 (PSS-85), in which teachers were asked to provide information about themselves and to specify the subject-matter classes they taught. The PSS-85 obtained responses from 8,568 teachers and 2,301 administrators from an initial sample of 2,801 schools selected from the Common Core of Data universe. Key findings showed that: (1) the percentage of females was similar for vocational and non-vocational teachers at 45% and 49%, respectively; (2) the percentages of minority vocational and non-vocational teachers were similar, at about 10%; (3) non-vocational teachers were more likely to have master's degrees than were vocational teachers; (4) overall, non-vocational teachers had about 1 year more full-time teaching experience than did vocational teachers; and (5) non-vocational and vocational teachers had taught an average of about 1 year part time, or less. Within group comparisons showed that: large schools had a higher percentage of minority non-vocational teachers than did small or medium schools; the percentage of females did not vary significantly by size of school; vocational teachers were about as likely to have bachelor's degrees as they were to have master's degrees; non-vocational teachers were more likely to have master's degrees than bachelor's degrees only; teaching experience of vocational and non-vocational teachers was greatest in large schools; there were three levels of teaching concentration among vocational teachers; about two-thirds of business teachers were female; and most business teachers held at least master's degrees. Overall, vocational and non-vocational teachers were more alike than different. Eight bar graphs and 10 tables summarize findings. The PSS-85 Teacher Questionnaire is included. (SLD) |
