Post High School Plans Survey.
Muskingum Area Technical Coll., Zanesville, OH.
This survey investigated the immediate after-high school plans of high school juniors, with a special emphasis on post-secondary education intentions. The survey included the responses of 1,064 students from 12 high schools. Forty-nine percent of the respondents indicated that they planned to attend a four-year college or university, 18 percent aimed to enroll in two-year colleges, sixteen percent reported that they would work, with the remaining seventeen percent shared by those entering the military, those undecided, and those who would remain at home. The survey also addressed specific student interests such majors, type of jobs, and other interests. The authors divided their findings into five major categories: (1) Primary Plans; (2) Not Attending College Group; (3) Undecided Student; (4) The Two-Year College Choice--including information on the college branch, technical/community college choice, and trade school; and (5) Four-Year College Choice. Researchers provide respondent characteristics and cross-tabulations and they list 22 recommendations for improving the survey instrument used along with follow-up ideas. The survey instrument appears in an appendix along with a complete tabulation for how each item was answered for the survey. (RJM)
