| Abstract | This is a summary report of a study that examined the practice and effects of vocational education in 14 classrooms in 8 Minnesota public schools. Data were collected from classroom observations; interviews with students, teachers, administrators, and counselors; and written survey instruments assessing student career development, vocational maturity, and demographic characteristics. Vocational education was found to play an important role in helping students build competence, apply basic skills, think through problems, learn technical skills, explore life roles, learn to work together, express themselves, extend themselves to the community, and practice life roles. Within the context of secondary education, vocational education was found to provide a change of pace from other experiences in the comprehensive high school. However, although the benefits of vocational education are clear, vocational students were frequently confronted with mixed perceptions by other students and by teachers about the value of their vocational education. Vocational education was found to help students in five ways. It helped students experience an egalitarian atmosphere and cooperation and teamwork, provided learning activities relevant to students' lives, gave teachers an opportunity to know their students well, and helped students develop self-esteem. It was concluded that those responsible for planning, administering, and teaching vocational education should continue to be creative and challenge students beyond their expectations, clarify the purpose of vocational education, and continue to provide new areas for student exploration without becoming so specialized as to narrow students' opportunities.
