Improving Vocational Guidance and Counseling: A Comprehensive Course Plan for Vocational Preparation. Vocational Guidance and Counseling Project. Final Report.
Sherman, Mary J.
A project was developed for the seventh- and eighth-grade student population to make available a computer-based program that provides specific prerequisite course data as well as electives to careers chosen by the students. The original areas of interest were defined by the student through use of a survey instrument and the initial course assignments made by the school's guidance department. One hundred careers were matched to specific listings of courses and electives. Through his/her program the individual student was allowed three career choices. The computer printed the required courses for that area and listed available electives. A schedule for the first year of operation was designed that proposed scheduling students through English classes (a required course for all students) and others on a "drop by" basis to use the computer. (Illustrations include the career interest survey instrument, user's guide to the computer program, and sample career profiles that are printouts of courses for three chosen careers.) (YLB)
