Lane, Forrest C.; To, Yen M.; Shelley, Kyna; Henson, Robin K. – Career and Technical Education Research, 2012
Researchers may be interested in examining the impact of programs that prepare youth and adults for successful careers but unable to implement experimental designs with true randomization of participants. As a result, these studies can be compromised by underlying factors that impact group selection and thus lead to potentially biased results.…

Zientek, Linda Reichwein; Ozel, Z. Ebrar Yetkiner; Ozel, Serkan; Allen, Jeff – Career and Technical Education Research, 2012
Confidence intervals (CIs) and effect sizes are essential to encourage meta-analytic thinking and to accumulate research findings. CIs provide a range of plausible values for population parameters with a degree of confidence that the parameter is in that particular interval.

The federal career and technical legislation reauthorized in 2006 required the recipients of its funding to offer at least one Program of Study (POS).

Lewis, Morgan V.; Overman, Laura – Career and Technical Education Research, 2008
Dual and concurrent enrollments enable students to earn postsecondary credits while still in high school. The 2006 Perkins legislation encourages such enrollments as a component of programs of study. There is evidence that students who earn dual enrollment credits have slightly (typically 4% to 5%) more positive outcomes in postsecondary education…
