Book excerpt: The educational effectiveness of cooperative education programs is dependent upon the participation of the employers. In order to improve the participation of the employers and the relationship between the school and the employers, this study was designed to answer the following questions: 1. How many sales-related jobs are available to cooperative education students? 2. Do employers have a positive perception of the cooperative education program? 3.

Book excerpt: The Purpose of the Study: The major purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences among the opinions of participating employers, previous participating employers, and non- participating employers concerning cooperative vocational education, . The hypothesis that there is no significant difference among the mean scores for the three employer groups was tested. Specifically, the objectives were to: (1) determine, utilizing the Delphi technique, a consensus of cooperative vocational education experts regarding values, objectives, program elements and future direction of cooperative vocational education; (2) develop a survey questionnaire based upon the consensus of the Delphi panel members; (3) determine by analysis of questionnaire results if there are differences in the opinions and attitudes of employer groups regarding the values, objectives, program elements and future direction of cooperative vocational education; and (4) ascertain areas of concern, consensus or variations of opinions from the business sector regarding cooperative vocational education. The Procedures: Construction and validation of the questionnaire were accomplished through a review of literature and an evaluation and consensus by six Delphi panel members. A mail survey questionnaire containing 29 value statements, 78 program elements and objectives statements, and three future direction statements, together with a five-point Likert- type scale, was used to gather the data. The sample for the study consisted of 25 participating employers, 25 previous-participating employers, and 25 non-participating employers, all randomly selected from lists supplied by career education directors from Oregon secondary schools. These schools were identified as offering five or more occupational clusters during the 1974-75 school year, having an ongoing cooperative vocational education program, and having received Part G funding within the last six years. The F statistic was used to analyze contrasts among the mean scores for each statement with the .05 level of significance being used to determine differences existing among the three groups. A test of Least Significant Difference was used to determine where significant differences existed between means of statements which were rejected in the analysis of variance test. Selected Findings and Conclusions: The analysis of variance test indicated that the three employer groups were alike in their responses to statements contained in the questionnaire; but significant differences did occur in one of 29 value statements, one of 78 program elements and objectives statements, and one of three future direction statements. The hypothesis was retained on 107 of the 110 statements. In a ranking of the highest and lowest mean scores for the three employer groups, ten statements scored above 4.00 and 15 statements scored below 2.50 by all groups. The three employer groups agreed there was value in cooperative vocational education programs. Selected Suggestions for Further Study: In view of the findings and conclusions of the study, it is sug gested additional research be conducted to assess if variations do exist between the three employer groups concerning cooperative vocational education. It is also suggested further study be made in the areas of teacher education and in-service education in the areas where total agreement was not reached by the three groups. In addition, research should be conducted in the areas where all three employer groups reached concurrence in agreement or disagreement to statements to provide for further program expansion involving the business community.

Book excerpt: The goal of this research was to identify those program elements and their levels of fulfillment in community college cooperative education programs which are essential if the success of an employer's contribution to a student's training is to be reasonably assured. The primary purpose was to determine if statistically significant differences in the perceptions of employers' concerns and expectations existed between the employers and the coordinators who have participated in community college work experience programs. Specifically, the objectives of this study were to: (1) determine, using the Delphi technique, a consensus by experts from business and industry on the identification and delineation of the concerns and expectations an employer might have about continuing company participation; (2) develop a survey questionnaire based on the consensus of the Delphi panel; and (3) determine by the analysis of the questionnaire's recorded data if there were differences among the perceptions of the training sponsors and coordinators regarding their expectation, concern, expectation fulfillment, and concern alleviation. The Procedures The study's instrument was developed by a review of the literature, a consensus of 10 Delphi panelists from business and industry, a pilot test, and a California employer mini-profile and information base. Divided into five categories, the instrument consisted of 51 statements of which each was accompanied by two six-point Likert type scales, ranging from 5.0, very high, to 0.0, none: one, for expectation, and the other, for its level of fulfillment. The sample for the study consisted of 54 randomly selected, participating employers and 59 percent of the post-secondary coordinator population. The respondents were selected from lists supplied by the program directors of eight of 13 community colleges which offered their students 15 or more separate cooperative work experience programs. The t statistic was used to determine contrasts among the mean scores of the two groups of respondents for each program element at the .05 level. Boole's inequality was also utilized to provide a refined estimate of the significance probability for each of the study's four null hypothesis tests. Thus, these probabilities evolved from not just the degrees of freedom but also the questionnaire's number of statements. In each category, the Spearman rho rank-difference coefficient was used to identify relationships between the ranking of the program elements by both groups. The hypothesis tests for zero correlation were conducted at the .05 level. Selected Findings and Conclusions The results of the t tests indicated that substantial differences existed among Oregon's training sponsors and coordinators regarding their perceptions of concern, expectation, and expectation fulfillment. Furthermore, each of the program elements evidenced significant concern. In concern alleviation, however, the responses of both groups were generally alike. Only three elements were found which indicated a significant difference between the groups in the effort required to eliminate concern. A ranking of the program elements in each of the five categories by their highest and lowest mean expectation scores showed that the training sponsors and coordinators scored 17 elements above 4.0 and 27 elements between 3.5 and 4.0. The hypothesis tests for zero correlation indicated a significant relationship for the elements of program planning. However, no other relationships were found in the four remaining categories of elements. The program element which was judged highest in expectation by both groups of respondents stated that both suitable academic experience and practical work experience are necessary to develop a well-rounded student who is prepared for employment. The element which was scored as least beneficial by the training sponsors stated that training sponsors and their companies should receive recognition for their participation in work experience programs.
