Etheridge, Carol P.
This study reports the perspectives of the 12 Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Fellows regarding the 1985-86 MAT program at Memphis State University.

The questionnaire covered the following topics: (1) source of information on the program; (2) reasons for interest; (3) admission requirements; (4) expectations of the program; (5) course content; (6) problems with coursework completion; (7) course instruction; (8) orientation experience; (9) placements; (10) spring internship activities; (11) mentoring observations and feedback; (12) scheduling; (13) mentor-protege relationship; (14) relationship problems; (15) role of the cohort group; (16) likelihood of a long teaching career; and (17) recommending the program to others. The major perceptions of the MAT program from the Fellows' perspective are summarized and responses to the survey questions are appended. (JD)
