Assessing Needs: Tabulation. A Procedural Guide for Supervisors. Research & Development Series No. 119-F. Career Planning Support System.
Coatney, Richard P.; And Others
This guide, one of a set of twelve documents describing the Career Planning Support System (CPSS) and its use, provides instruction for faculty/staff members (on a needs assessment task force) to lead others in manually tabulating data collected on four questionnaires administered as one of the activities of CPSS. (CPSS is a comprehensive guidance program management system designed to provide information for local high schools to design, implement, and evaluate an upgraded career guidance program. CPSS describes how existing activities can be brought into an integrated systematic approach for the delivery of career guidance services which would enable teachers, counselors, students, and community members to decide on a specific program to be followed.) (This guide will probably not be used if data is analyzed by computer. The computer option is discussed in the procedural guide on assessing needs--surveying.) Procedural sections of this guide provide detailed instructions for accomplishing the following tasks: Transfer questionnaire responses to code sheets; add each column on each code sheet and record sums; transfer sums on each code sheet to summary sheets; total summary sheets; compute percentages and sums of rankings and transfer to nine tables; and record all fill-in statements and comments. It is noted that results of the tabulation are intended for use in setting goals for the school's career guidance program. (TA)
