摘要 | Since the early 1990s, federal legislation has encouraged secondary vocational education to go beyond its traditional focus of developing narrowly defined workplace skills to a broader goal of providing career preparation. On the basis of a nationally representative sample of students who graduated from high school in 1992, this report examines factors that influence participation in vocational education—demographics; behaviors; and expectations of students, parents, and high schools. The findings show that students with low academic achievement, low educational aspirations, and low socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to participate in vocational education, but race/ethnicity, disability status, and behavior problems have little, if any, influence on participation. A major challenge facing vocational education is how to meet the objectives of recent education reforms that aim to increase academic achievement and college enrollment for all students. |
