Two pairs of Delphi panels were established. The doctoral panels consisted of 15 recent doctoral graduates and 30 practicing technology education teachers with master's degrees. The master's degree panels consisted of 19 technology education teachers with master's degrees and 18 technology education teachers with no advanced degree. The three panels whose members had advanced degrees all rated their personal goal and desire as the top influence for pursuing a graduate degree, whereas the technology education teachers who did not hold master's degrees rated their personal goal and desire significantly lower. The university's geographical location, program quality and reputation, and faculty quality and reputation were all rated as positive influences by three panels. All four panels considered time commitment a substantial barrier to enrollment in a graduate-level program. Universities providing graduate technology education programs focusing on teacher education were advised to promote the quality of the university, the program, and its faculty and to capitalize on technology education teachers' personal goals and desires to recruit qualified individuals into graduate education programs.

One problem-solving design that can help in working with persons with disabilities is the "Engineering for Success" design. This model groups technology education students with teachers of special education so that both groups learn how to develop high quality products through the incorporation of knowledge from their respective fields and from the "Engineering for Success" design. In addition, this model assists occupational therapy students in learning the problem-solving skills they need to help people with temporary disabilities to recover from an injury or illness. Faculty and teaching associates at The Ohio State University have found the "Engineering for Success" design to be successful. (Contains 10 references.) (KC)

As an educator, when you want to grow a program or group of students, you have to do the same thing by working the soil of opportunity and planting the seeds of potential. In October 2002, a seed was planted to grow the research base in technology education. The seeds planted were undergraduate students (pre-service teachers) from Ball State, Eastern Michigan, Illinois State, Purdue, and St. Cloud State Universities. Together with a faculty member from each institution, sixteen undergraduates completed a three-day professional development experience on the impli-cations of research and technology education. A variety of research approaches were discussed, but the primary focus was on action research, the type of research typically used by classroom teachers. In the book The Teaching Gap (1999), Stigler and Hiebert suggest that "Compared with other countries, the United States clearly lacks a system fo...
