The third-party evaluation presents assessment of the first cycle of operation of the Experience Based Career Education (EBCE) at Wichita East High School. Twenty-two process objectives and twelve outcome objectives were evaluated with either a nominal (yes/no) assessment of status, or a descriptive (statistical/narrative) assessment of status, as determined by interviews with program personnel, examination of project records, and administration of appropriate instruments. A pre- posttest design was used to assess outcome objectives achievement associated with academic achievement, self-esteem, career orientation, and sex bias. A self-administering checklist/open-ended response form was used to collect summative impressions of the program from students, parents, and site resource people. Pre- posttest EBCE/control results are provided for the Differential Aptitude Test, the Career Development Inventory, the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, and on the sex-role socialization questionnaire. Results of the parent evaluation, student evaluation resource surveys, and interviews conducted with resource persons at the work site are reported. It was concluded that process and outcome objectives were substantially accomplished. (Appendixes contain detailed descriptions of procedures and data for five outcome objectives.) (TA)
