Abstract: This investigation examined perceptions about the objectives of the student teaching experience in the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Subjects for the study were Spring 1978 student teachers in dance education and physical education, their cooperating teachers, and their university supervisors. The survey instrument developed by the investigator called for subjects to: (a) rank 15 objectives as to importance, (b) designate the degree to which the objectives were achieved, and (c) record activities and experiences which contributed to the achievement of the objectives. Mean values with respect to rank order were obtained. The Kendall tau correlational technique was also used to analyze the importance and the achievement of the objectives. Comments from respondents about reasons for achievement and about contributing experiences were content analyzed. Results were analyzed for each respondent group—student teachers, cooperating teachers, and university supervisors. A combined group (triad) result was also determined.
