Evaluating Computerized Career Information Systems for Use with Occupational Education Curricula. Final Report.
Bloch, Deborah Perlmutter; Kinnison, Joyce Ford
A study was conducted to develop a model for a computer-based career information delivery system for use in New York State occupational education programs. The study included a literature review and five major substudies (information validation, user satisfaction, and vendor surveys; site visits to selected schools and agencies using career information systems; and a demonstration of career information delivery systems to a system review panel). The literature review yielded a list of 85 information components that was confirmed by the validation survey and enlarged by surveys of principals, counselors, students, and parents. Of the five career information systems presented by vendors, four were rated satisfactory and just passing. It was decided that the state should pursue the development and utilization of career information delivery systems. No single system should be adopted; however, all systems considered for use should undergo some sort of approval process. Activities such as staff development workshops and printed communications should be developed as soon as possible, and a career information delivery system coordinating office should be created to oversee the coordination and continued improvement of career information systems for vocational students. (Appendixes include copies of all the project surveys and related materials, correspondence, and forms.) (MN)
