Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the acceptance of three competency-based teacher education modules by field-dependent-independent Nebraska home economics cooperating teachers in a group setting and in an independent learning environment. The study explored three major questions: 1. Is there a difference in the satisfaction level of field-dependent and field-independent home economics cooperating teachers in specified competency-based teacher education modules?
2. Is there a difference in the achievement level of field-dependent and field-independent home economics cooperating teachers in terms of satisfactory completion of the learning activities included in specified competency-based teacher education modules?
3. Will field-dependent home economics cooperating teachers react more favorably than field-independent home economics cooperating teachers in terms of satisfaction and achievement levels towards competency-based teacher education modules utilized in an independent setting rather than a group setting?
