Experienced-Based Career Education, Part D, 13.502. First Interim Report.
Muse, Ivan D.; Coombs, Garn
An evaluation was conducted on the first year operations (academic 1976-77) of an experienced based career education (EBCE) project designed for tenth grade students from Weber County School District (Utah) and ninth and tenth grade students from Morgan County School District (Utah). Students were pre- and posttested in the areas of career skills, life skills, and basic academic skills and a student demographic data questionnaire was administered. It was concluded that students did make changes in their career knowledge and attitudes toward learning environments and although they did not show any increased mastery in all career skills, life skills, and basic skills, neither did they show any decrease. Results of questionnaires administered to students, parents, site coordinators, and teachers were generally favorable. Evaluation of grade patterns of EBCE students in English, science, and math showed that on a group basis grades remained generally the same for the year. Of significance was the result that the EBCE program had no detrimental effect on student grades even though they spent a considerable amount of time off campus in employer sites. (TA)
