In-Service Education of Teachers—an Evaluation

Abstract

In-service education has become almost a slogan in postwar teacher-education circles. Evaluation of these efforts, how ever, has not kept pace with the multi plication of the efforts themselves. Here Mr. Wood, Professor of Education, Uni versity of Oregon, Eugene, approaches the problem in an objective manner. He first defines the program in terms of its statewide proportions and then applies to it a technique of qualitative measure ment. His findings should serve as guide- posts in other evaluations; certainly they contain a challenge to our educational leadership.
