Evaluation of Selected Career Resource Centers in Pennsylvania. Final Report.
Lewis, James P.; Dittenhafer, Clarence A.
The study evaluated five career resource centers (CRC) in Pennsylvania. The centers were located in two area vocational-technical schools and three senior high schools. The results showed the CRC's to be successful in organizing and maintaining all the necessary hardware and software; however, keeping career software materials up to date and helping pupils find desired materials was a problem. The overall attitudes of pupils and teachers toward the CRC's were significantly higher than similar control school personnel attitudes toward a regular guidance program. Exposure to the CRC or a regular guidance program was not sufficient to cause significant changes in pupil's scores on the Pennsylvania Occupational Questionnaire or the Vocational Development Inventory, administered in November 1972 and June 1973.
