A Demographic Study of the Typical Post-Secondary Student in State Operated Vocational Technical Schools in Kentucky. Final Report.
Bayne, G. Keith
This report provides the results of a questionnaire survey of 830 postsecondary vocational-technical students attending state-operated schools in Kentucky. The objectives of the study were: (1) to provide demographic information needed to prepare profiles of typical students by program area; (2) to determine the relationships of economic status and students entry into vocational-technical programs; (3) to analyze standardized test scores of a stratified random sample of students. A discussion of objectives and methodology is followed by the results presented in both narrative and table form. These findings for the total sample are presented: age, number of dependents, education level, sex, race, work experience, marital status, family income, financial aid, program area in which enrolled, handicap types, employment status, time of day students attend school, General Aptitude Test Battery scores, and Test of Adult Basic Education scores. Profiles that include the above types of information are then provided for students in these program areas: health and personal service, business and office occupations, industrial and technical, home economics, distributive education, and public service. A total of 62 tables are included. (YLB)
