Abstract | A study documented coursework completed by graduates of university vocational teacher preparation programs. Twenty-two universities and colleges preparing vocational education teachers provided transcripts for 1988-89 graduates; data from 412 transcripts were coded. Courses taken within various categories were analyzed and comparisons made among teaching majors in terms of amount of coursework taken. Graduates completed extensive numbers of technical subject matter content courses that included a reasonable balance between upper- and lower-level course taking. They completed a range of mathematics, social science, science, and English general education studies. Teacher educators appeared to review the upper-level course-taking patterns of their students to ensure they were not missing opportunities to enrich the general studies component of their programs. Vocational teacher coursework taken in mathematics, social science, English, and science was similar to that taken by graduates reported in other studies. A suggestion was that teacher educators systematically assess the course-taking patterns of prospective vocational education teachers and determine whether general education studies requirements were sufficient to provide graduates with mathematics, social science, science, and English capabilities for functioning effectively in their professional roles as they are asked to integrate academic skills.
