The purpose of this study was to investigate the time management skills of Indiana vocational high school home economics teachers. The problem accessed in the study are: (1) Do Indiana vocational high school home economics teachers have higher means for time management skills than the established norm (mid level management students) and (2) Is there a difference in the means for time management skills of the Indiana vocational high school home economics teachers by teaching assignment?Three hundred and fifty Indiana vocational high school home economics teachers selected by systematic random sampling design were mailed the instrument with 232 usable responses. The Time Problems Inventory by A. Canfield measured the teachers' time management skills in priority setting, planning, delegation and discipline. Reliability and construct validity were measured with factor analysis. The subjects' teaching assignment was determined with a demographic question.The findings of the study indicated the following:1) Indiana vocational high school home economics teachers' time management skills in the areas of priorities and planning were lower than those of the norm.2) In the area of delegation, the norm group and the home economics teachers showed no significant difference.3) Indiana vocational high school home economics teachers tested significantly above the norm group in the time management skills of discipline.4) The home economics teachers did not differ in management skills by teaching assignment.In total time management skills, Indiana vocational high school home economics teachers are weaker in the areas of planning and priorities. These skills might be strengthened through inservice education. / Department of Home Economics

This study attempted to determine the amount of time spent on nonpaid daily activities by retired people and to identify management problems encountered while performing daily activities. Time use data were collected by daily records completed by the subjects. Variables examined were age, sex, health, education, level of income, and living arrangements. Age and sex were related to total time spent on household activities and family care. Those in the oldest age group spent the least amount of time on household activities and family care and men spent less time than women on these activities. Health, living arrangements, income, and transportation were identified as management problems. These problems were not incapacitating and most elderly were able to live independently at home.
