Continued Evaluation of a Management Information System for Vocational-Technical Education. Statewide Evaluation of Vocational-Technical Education in Florida, Volume 5.
Latta, Raymond F.; Schmidt, Max L.
A general model for a management information system for vocational and technical education is presented for statewide planning purposes. This enrollment system was designed by the vocational division of the Florida State Department of Education to implement the recommendations of the state advisory council for vocational education. Included are these six components: (1) student data, (2) instructor data, (3) program course data, (4) space facility utilization, (5) student placement and followup, and (6) fiscal data. During the 1971 fiscal year, a large number of area vocational centers began implementing these subsystems. In order to improve the system, vocational educators at all levels and leaders in industry must be involved. Full state funding is needed for a long-range commitment, and detailed plans at all levels must be developed. In order to provide relevant information for decision-making in vocational and adult education, a revised enrollment system should be aligned with public and private employment services, together with subsystems in industry. This document is related to four others, available in this issue as VT 019 460-VT 019 463. (AG)
