520 |a To identify inadequacies or irrelevancies in the home economics training program for teachers in Utah and to suggest methods of correcting them, data were collected from senior students in home economics education, cooperating teachers, and practicing secondary teachers who graduated from Utah State University, University of Utah, and Brigham Young University. Data were gathered by means of: (1) a rating scale for adequacy and relevancy of college training, which was sent to the practicing secondary teachers, (2) an open-ended questionnaire, which was sent to senior students and cooperating teachers, (3) a review of tape recordings made by 16 senior students, and (4) a comparison of secondary curriculum guides and university course outlines. In general, the programs were found to be very good in most areas, but some areas need improvement. Some recommendations for improvement were: (1) Teaching methods taught should be as specific to the subject area as possible, (2) A course in gainful home economics should be required, (3) The program should be made more flexible to meet individual needs, (4) Consumer decision-making should be emphasized in all areas, not just in one class, and (5) Students should get more drug education.
