Abstract | This study examined the career patterns of secondary school business education teachers, focusing on possible demographic differences between teachers who sought alternate career paths and those who did not. A stratified national sample of 284 business teachers completed a survey questionnaire. The study found that the typical respondent was a white female, 44 years old, married, with 1.66 children, who had a Master's degree, 17 years of teaching experience, and was teaching keyboarding or computer literacy/applications. Seventy-six percent of the respondents' careers started from 3 different points in life: (1) with a Bachelor's degree; (2) working for a business; or (3) military service. The most frequently identified pattern was for an individual to obtain a Bachelor's degree and certification (n=108), accept a teaching position (n=44), obtain a Master's degree while continuing to teach (n=52), and accept administrative duties (n=12). The study also found that slightly less than half of the respondents were currently seeking an alternative career route (48.6 percent), while slightly more than half (51.4 percent) were not. A significant number of those in the former category were under 35 years of age. (Contains 14 references.) (MDM) |
