This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As K-12 systems throughout the country work to create Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs that will provide students with post-secondary skills and competencies to succeed in the workforce, many CTE students may be inadvertently denied the opportunity to also become college ready upon graduation. Focusing on high school CTE coursework deemed to be less academically rigorous, can limit the college readiness rates for CTE concentrators both in admittance and success thereafter. Utilizing Dewey and Prosser’s historical perspectives related to vocational education, current college and career readiness research, and nascent literature on college and career ready indicators, the purpose of this explanatory qualitative case study was to try to understand how adult aged students who graduated from the CTE course of study perceived their preparation for college and career readiness. This study had a sample size of three subjects per state (California, Illinois, and Texas) for a total of nine adult participants who graduated from high school and concentrated in CTE by completing two or more courses in a career or technical education pathway. Using surveys and interviews, the design of this study captured vivid details through the words and actions of the participants to explore and explain the relationship between aspects of their scholastic experiences and their perceived readiness. The findings revealed that that where participants went to school, the quality of the CTE program, and expertise of the adults involved made the greatest differences in participant perceptions of readiness-- superseding all other factors including geography, race, age, and gender. The findings from this study may have significant academic, social, and systemic implications as the belief that college and career readiness are one in the same prevails when driven by quantitative data points. The voices from the field are telling us otherwise.

Download or read book The Effect of Socioeconomic Status and Gender on High School Student Perceptions about Career and Technical Education written by Briael Chadwell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative study examines the perceptions of career and technical education (CTE) among high school students based on their socioeconomic status and gender, and the interaction between the two. The study used a convenience sample of 207 students from four coastal South Carolina high schools. The data was collected using the Image of Vocational Education (IVE) survey. The data was analyzed using a two-way ANOVA. The results found that low socioeconomic status, middle socioeconomic status, high socioeconomic status all had positive perceptions of CTE; female and male had no differences in perception; and there is no interaction. The summary and discussion conclude that high school student perceptions of CTE are positive. Recommendations for further research include a qualitative study looking at individualized perceptions rather than overall perceptions as well as finding reasons why high school students are not enrolling in CTE courses.
