Annual Evaluation Report for the Exemplary Project in Career Development, 1975.
Peck, Hugh I.
This evaluation of the Washington, D.C. Public Schools Career Education Project investigated student self concept, student relationships with the world of work, student attitudes toward career davelopment, decision making skills, educator attitudes, and community involvement. The project was designed for inner city students in all grade levels. Some of the results indicated that: (1) Primary level career education students, 1974-75 school year, achieved higher scores on self acceptance and self security than did the previous year's primary school students. (2) Third grade students scored higher on social maturity, self acceptance and self security than did students in the same grade during the previous school year. (3) Intermediate level students in career education obtained higher scores than the 1973-1974 classes at the same grade levels in self acceptance, school affiliation and peer affiliation. (4) Junior High students performed well on the Self Observation Scales; student self concept generally increased with grade level. (5) Students were integrating career information into a logical base for decision making. (6) A high level of support for the program was demonstrated by the teachers, administrators, and community. The evaluators recommended that the program be expanded to serve the total population of the Washington, D.C. Public Schools. Statistical data are appended. (Author/MV)
