The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Faculty Development Program in (1) communicating energy information to junior high, high school, and university teacher during summer workshops; and (2) motivating these teachers to incorporate the newly acquired knowledge about energy concepts and methods of instruction in their classrooms. To assess the extent to which these program objectives have been achieved, separate surveys of 1978 and 1979 participants were conducted. The 1979 participants were asked to describe the quality of the workshops and their intent to introduce the energy concepts into their classrooms. A sample of participants in the 1978 workshops, and a national sample of high school science teachers used as a comparison group, were asked to respond to a follow-up survey aimed at determining the effects of the program. The results of these surveys are discussed.
