Research and Development Project in Career Education. Final Report.
Jernigan, Frank W., Jr.
The project, conducted in five schools enrolling approximately 3,700 students, has as its goals: (1) develop and implement a pilot program of career guidance and counseling at the elementary school level emphasizing career awareness, (2) improve guidance and counseling service at the junior high school level emphasizing career exploration, (3) improve guidance and counseling at the senior high school level and establish a placement service. To achieve these goals, a graduate counseling fellow was assigned to the one elementary school in the project, three fellows were assigned to the three middle schools, and a graduate counseling fellow, a placement officer, and a secretary were assigned to the secondary school. In addition a graduate research fellow served the overall project and five students enrolled in a Cooperative Office Education course were assigned to assist the graduate students. Among the results of the program were the development of a volume of activities for instructional procedures, slides and audio tapes, a model for career guidance at each of the three levels, a core of trained personnel, and placement information and services. The project has been successful in view of the objectives established. (Questionnaires, tables, and aids for curriculum development constitute a large portion of the volume.) (AG)
