Popis: We have measured the $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ directional correlation coefficient ${A}_{22}$ in the decay of ${}^{22}\mathrm{Na}$ to the ${2}^{+}$ 1275 keV excited state of ${}^{22}\mathrm{Ne}.$ We find ${A}_{22}=(5.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2.5)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}.$ This measurement has higher precision but disagrees with most previous experiments. The value for ${A}_{22},$ combined with other experimental inputs, gives recoil-order form factors in disagreement with theoretical estimates. This experiment demonstrates the capabilities of Gammasphere as an instrument for precise $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ correlation measurements.
