Development and Evaluation of a Pilot Element in a Statewide Career Education Delivery System.
North Texas State Univ., Denton.
The purpose of this project was to determine the effectiveness of a pilot element of a statewide delivery system for career education as a method for preparing secondary teachers to be effective agents of world of work economic education information dissemination and attitudinal change. The primary objectives were: (1) To develop a pilot element of a statewide delivery system for career education; (2) to develop, produce, and evaluate a teacher in-service training system utilizing audiovisual components; and (3) to develop an implementation program. Procedures and activities for the two project phases are described in the report. Phase l involved the development of the pilot delivery system while Phase 2 was concerned with the implementation and evaluation. A quasi-experimental research design was employed with a sample of 30 teachers. It was found that pupils of teachers participating in the program did not evidence more understanding of the world of work, but did experience a greater increase in positive attitudes toward productivity and motivation than did pupils of nonparticipating teachers. These findings suggest that project objectives were met and that an effective delivery system can be developed. Appended to the report are materials related to the in-service program. (Author/NJ)
