Research and Development Project in Career Education. Final Report.
Struck, John W.; Curtis, Carroll A.
Specific programmatic segments of career education developed at four career education pilot sites in Pennsylvania--Ebensburg, Crawford County, Philadelphia, and McKeesport--were evaluated for the period June 1973 to September 1974. Evaluation was conducted through questionnaires, interviews, and observation. The Ebensburg project, conducted at a vocational-technical school, expanded the TIME scheduling model (Temporally Individualized Modular Education--a flexible scheduling arrangement) into the business education departments at six leading high schools. Practicum modules for academically oriented students and job or work experience modules were provided. The Crawford County project focused on the elementary component of career education to continue to develop and implement a model computer resource career oriented curriculum for use at the K-6 level which focuses on career awareness, self-awareness, and the significance of work. Field orientation and exploration constituted a significant part of the Philadelphia program and also featured a strong career counseling and guidance component. The McKeesport project focused on the development, operation, testing, expansion, and diffusion of a comprehensive career education program (K-12) with emphasis on developing a model adaptable by other school districts. In this report, goals and objectives, procedures, evaluative results, conclusions, and recommendations are described in detail for each of the four sites. Appendixes contain questionnaires, evaluation forms, and other materials used in the evaluation study. (TA)
