The stated preference of these educators was determined by asking five hundred randomly selected Texas educators to respond to a mailed anonymous survey in which they were asked to choose between the two types of activities on four topics of general interest. The in-service offerings of the Regional Education Service Centers of Texas 1984-86 were analyzed to determine the proportion of problem- or subject-centered activities offered, and the subject-centered activities from selected activity calendars of Region XI ESC were examined to find out whether participation in these activities was in proportion to their availability. |
