| Abstract | A study was conducted to identify reasons why high school students elect not to enroll in a vocational curriculum. Data were collected via questionnaires sent to all 11th graders in 5 schools selected randomly in Southwestern Ohio (633 responses). Some of the findings of the study were the following: (1) 60 percent of the sample were enrolled in an academic curriculum, whereas 40 percent were in a general curriculum; (2) white male students from a higher socioeconomic status and in an academic curriculum had the most negative images of vocational education; (3) major reasons for not enrolling in vocational education included "did not have what I'm interested in,""want to go to college," and "scheduling problems"; (4) reasons for not enrolling in vocational schools included the need to prepare for college, "not thinking about it," lack of ability to participate in extracurricular activities in their home school, and a negative image of the vocational school in their community; (5) half the sample had a neutral attitude toward vocational education and the other half had a more negative attitude toward it; and (6) mothers were most influential in decisions not to enroll in vocational education, followed by friends, siblings, and teachers. Recommendations were made to improve the image of vocational education, to avoid scheduling conflicts with academic courses, and to market vocational education more effectively. (KC) |
