SUMMARY, FINDINGS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary
This study was conducted to determine course content
currently being used by power mechanics instructors in the
public secondary schools of Texas. It was not only meant
to ascertain what was being taught, but to determine the
attitudes of these instructors in regard to topics that
should be incorporated into the curriculum to produce a
current comprehensive list of topics that could be used
to develop a modern power mechanics curriculum.
There were eighty teachers of power mechanics surveyed
throughout the state to gain this information. All these
teachers were listed in the most current directory of in-
dustrial arts personnel published by the Texas Education
Agency in Austin, Texas. The teachers involved were en-
gaged in teaching areas of power mechanics in the secondary
schools of Texas but by no means reflect all the courses
offered on the subject topic, as general shop courses include
many endeavors in this area.
A questionnaire was constructed and used to collect
data in regard to power mechanics from the eighty power
mechanics instructors.. The questionnaires were directed61
