Abstract | During the 1967-1968 academic year an experimental program of classroom instruction in vocational information and career selection was introduced in selected secondary schools. Data were obtained by testing students in the experimental and control groups by administering pre and posttest instruments which focused on four major areas: (1) knowledge concerning occupations and related information; (2) level of occupational aspiration; (3) perceptions of the degree of importance of certain job factors; and (4) student attitudes toward work, self, and education. Analysis of the data revealed that no significant differences in knowledge existed between the experimental and control groups. However, the fact that the experimental group performed equally well on a textbook oriented test suggests that the field experience compensated for the lack of study time normally devoted to study of the textbook. Career aspirations of students in both groups were higher following the treatment. (Author/KJ) |
