An Evaluation of a Staff- and Community-Implemented Model Integrating Career Development Concepts in a Total Educational Program, K-12. Final Report.
Alameda County School Dept., Hayward, CA.
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effects of a comprehensive career development program operating during the 1971-72 school year on selected behaviors of students, parents, school staffs, and community participants. Through career development experiences within the normal curriculum in certain experimental schools the project had as its objectives: (1) to demonstrate a change in student attitudes toward careers and vocations as measured by a test of vocational maturity, (2) to produce a significant increase in vocational information by experimental students as compared to a control population, (3) to change staff, parental, and community attitudes toward vocational education and career education, (4) to increase parent and community participation in curriculum planning and implementation in the experimental schools, (5) to have experimental students demonstrate one or more exploratory behaviors during the school year, and (6) to have teachers in the experimental schools implement three or more career development experiences during the school year. While the last three objectives were met or exceeded, no attitude changes were evidenced, although there was some increase in interest and information. Detailed test and evaluation results are tabulated and discussed. Project-designed inventories and factor analyses are appended. (MF)
