The purpose of this study was to develop and validate guiding principles and guideline criteria for field experiences in Jamaican Teacher Colleges. A modified version of the Delphi Technique was the method used in validation of the items. A list of 711 items of guiding principles and guideline criteria developed from the literature review was evaluated by an inside jury of five experts in teacher education and field experiences from the Florida State University. The list covered the seven areas of philosophy, goals, objectives, policies, organizational structure, field experiences operational functions, and evaluation. The revised list of 692 items was evaluated by 14 outside jury members consisting of 10 Floridian teacher educators and four Jamaican teacher educators. The finalized list contained 676 items of guiding principles and guideline criteria. / The study indicated that: (1) The conceptual framework for the guiding principles and a guideline criteria can serve as an outline for a field experiences program. (2) The guiding principles and guideline criteria, based on the evaluation of the two juries, are appropriate for Jamaican teacher colleges. (3) The guiding principles and guideline criteria can also be utilized for field experiences program in the United States of America. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 41-03, Section: A, page: 1026. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1980.
