This study focused on the recruitment attitudes and behaviors of home eco nomics teachers. The sample came from home economics teachers who attended the Virginia Vocational Teachers Conference in August of 1981. The instrument consisted of seven demographic information questions that were treated as in dependent variables for the study and 43 statements related to recruitment atti tudes and behaviors for public school and college/university home economics programs. The teachers who participated in this study were requested to respond to 43 recruitment statements on a four‐point, forced‐choice Likert scale. Data were analyzed with both a one‐way analysis of variance to test the relationship between the response value and the seven independent variables, and a post hoc analysis using the Scheffé test to identify the main source of the significance of the overall F‐ratio. Findings from the study indicate that (1) greater emphasis in pre‐service teacher education should be placed upon recruitment techniques, (2) home economics career education should be taught at the middle school or junior high level, and (3) college‐university home economics faculty should speak to public school classes about careers in home economics.
