Three-Site Evaluation for Career Development Projects.
Brickell, Henry M.; And Others
An evaluation was done of three sites (Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Springfield) participating in Ohio's Career Development Program for students in grades K-10 from 1975-1976 to (1) assess leadership characteristics of the individual programs and classroom teaching activities of the program teachers and (2) determine the amount and type of student learning of career education concepts in grades 3, 6, 8, and 10. To assess the program process, the local program directors, school administrators, teachers, and students were interviewed, instructional materials were examined, and classrooms were visited during 2-day site visits. Utilizing tests developed in Ohio, the pretest status and pre- and posttest growth of program and non-program students were analyzed to evaluate student learning. The 11 conclusions regarding student learning suggest that the program has influenced the learning of students, has made slightly more impact on cognitive than affective learning, and has been most successful in the elementary grades. The four conclusions about program process indicate that program directors and coordinators are capable of assuming a leadership role in infusing career development concepts into their schools, and appear to be providing for program expansion. (The appendix comprises two-thirds of this report and includes process evaluations and the pre- and posttest findings from the three study sites.) (EM)
