Search for and Development of Instruments Measuring Student Outcomes of Experience-Based Career Education Programs. External Evaluator's Final Report on the Experience-Based Career Education Programs, Volume VII.
Corder, Reginald; Watkins, Richard W.
Originally, this project attempted to find appropriate existing instruments that would be useful in the assessment of desired pupil outcomes for the Experience Based Career Education (EBCE) programs. When this effort proved unsuccessful, the next step was the development of systematic observations on a time-sampling basis. When this procedure was rejected, the questionnaire was developed, to be used in conjunction with in-depth pupil interviews. For this purpose, a career-planning model was developed that was intended to cover the common features of the four EBCE schools. The questionnaire covered aspects of career interest and familiarity, career requirements for first- and second-choice careers, and self ratings with respect to school-related abilities, physical abilities, creative abilities, interpersonal skills, interests, and additional personal characteristics. There were some open-ended questions that had to be coded after the interviews. Reliabilities for the coding and for questionnaire subscores were computed as well as intercorrelations among some of the variables. Rationales are presented for many of the decisions required in the process of developing this instrument. Statistical data and the interview questions are appended. (CTM)
