Abstract

The specific problems investigated in this study were: what different material formats are most frequently utilized, how many non-text materials are utilized, and the range and mean average number of items per pupil of non-text materials utilized in home economics courses.

Based on the eighteen responding home economics teachers representing thirteen high schools in AEA 7, which is forty-six percent of the schools, the analysis of the resulting data yielded the following major findings:

1. Formats most frequently utilized in home economics instruction are books, transparencies, and filmstrips.

2. Seventy-five percent of the home economics nontext materials are obtained from school system sources.

J. The range of non-text materials is .2 to 4.5 items per pupil and the mean average is 1.3.

Although based on a small proportion of the total population and considering the limitations of the survey instrument, the overall results of this study indicated probable involvement of a media specialist at some level of media centers in obtaining non-text materials for home economics instructional use, even though the range and mean average of items per pupil is considerably low.
