- W317460977 abstract "A study examined the supply of and demand for home economics teacher educators identified through the American Vocational Association's 1993 national directory of the home economics division teacher educators. Demand data were obtained from state supervisors of vocational education (or their designees). Follow-up contacts resulted in a response rate of 55.4% for supply data and a response rate of 51.0% for demand data. Enrollment data provided by the teacher educators indicated a total of 2,168 students enrolled in home economics education programs in 1992-93. The identified majors of the 551 graduates from these programs reported in 1992-93 were as follows: teaching, 367; extension, 7; combination teaching and extension, 34; and other, 143. The number of home economics education graduates in 1993-94 qualified to teach was anticipated to be 440, which meant a decline of 21 in just 1 year. As of 1992-93, 15,235 persons were working as home economics teachers. As of September 1993, an additional 125 teachers were needed to fill open positions, emergency certification was held by 73 persons, and 45 departments would not operate because of a lack of qualified teachers.

Jackman, Ph.D. Marsha Rehm, Ph.D. North Dakota State University Tennessee Technological University There is increasing concern that the supply of undergraduate students majoring in home economics education has sharply declined over the past several decades. From 1968-69 through 1978-79, the number of baccalaureate degrees awarded in home economics education decreased by 42 percent (Harper, 1981). From 1973 to 1983, the decrease was 73 percent (Green, 1987). While 7,002 baccalaureate degrees were awarded in 1968-69, only 2,021 were awarded in 198283 (Harper & Davis, 1986). According to the National Center for Education Statistics (1993), a meager 426 baccalaureate degrees in home economics education were conferred in 1990-91. A count of the degrees listed in the 1992-93 Edition of the National Directory of the Home. Economics Division of the American Vocational Association (Weis & Pomraning, 1993) shows that 708 baccalaureate degrees were conferred in 1991-92. When adding fifth-year certificates, postbaccalaureate degrees, and M.A.T degrees, there were 757 graduates prepared to teach home economics in 1991-92. Although the recent increase in enrollment is a good sign, we cannot be certain that the downward trend is leveling off or reversing for the long term. Not only have the numbers of undergraduates declined over time, but the number of institutions offering home economics teacher certification has declined as well. The number of programs decreased from 281 in 1984 to 266 in 1988, and the trend is likely to continue into the 1990's (Hall & Miller, 1989). In a study on the status of home economics teacher education, Kellett and Beard (1991) find that 42.5 percent of baccalaureate programs enroll 10 or fewer students. The authors of this paper also find alarming statistics revealed in an analysis of the programs listed in the 1992-93 NatignalTh=geslikBongEsailonjoaiyiskagftha American Vocational Association (Weis & Pomraning, 1993). Out of 228 institutions listed for 1991-92, forty-four granted no baccalaureate or teaching degrees and 10 indicated that the home economics education program had been eliminated--a phenomenal 23.7 percent of programs that produced no future teachers. More than half of the listed institutions (56.6%) certified only between one and five graduates, adding up to a extraordinary 80.3 percent of institutions that produced five or fewer degrees in 1991-92. Less than 20 percent of institutions offering home economics education certified more than five graduates during 1991-92. Given so few stude its who have recently earned home economics education degrees, there is a growing concern about filling home economics teaching positions in the future. Hall and Miller (1989) predict a shortage of home economics teachers during the 1990's. Out of an estimated 1, 012, 000 U.S. secondary school teachers in 1991, 3.1 percent (about 13, 370) were home economics teachers. Recent percentages are up from 1986 when only 2.6 percent of all secondary school teachers were home economics teachers. Clearly, the dramatic percentage decline in home economics majors has not been paralleled by declines in home economics teaching positions! At the same time, current vocational teachers are an experienced group. About 31 percent of vocational teachers have over 20 years of experience, and 42 percent have between 10 and 20 years. Therefore, up to 73 percent of vocational teachers are at midor late-career (National Center for Education Statistics, 1993). If home economics teachers reflect the vocational teacher et_ population, Burge and Stewart (1991) are right on target as they warn of a critical need for U S DEPARTMENT or EGuCATioN <7) 0,r 0I s.x.. ....
