Abstract: The primary purpose of this study was to identify problems encountered by Negro and Caucasian home economics teachers in integrated situations. The study was designed to identify problems encountered by Negro teachers of Caucasian students, problems encountered by Caucasian teachers of Negro students, and to determine similarities and differences in the kinds of problems identified by Negro and Caucasian home economics teachers. A questionnaire was modified and given along with a personal data sheet to the vocational home economics teachers attending the 1960 State Vocational Home Economics Teachers' Conference at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Of the 679 questionnaires collected after the conference, 505 were useable giving a 74.4 percent return. Teachers were asked to indicate the degree to which various items were problems on a scale ranging from great problem to does not concern me. The findings were summarized by problems recognized by vocational home economics teachers according to age, race, and years of teaching experience.
