- Summary:
-
Objectives of a Kentucky project were to analyze existing needs and barriers and potential needs and barriers regarding (1) new and emerging occupations, (2) elimination of discrimination, (3) vocational staff development, and (4) funding vocational education. A statewide planning committee assisted in development of the method and instruments. A Delphi questionnaire was developed and sent to samples of personnel from seven different groups of vocational educators and policy makers in the state. Response and feedback was synthesized and analyzed to determine commonalities and differences, and participants were then asked to reach a consensus of opinion regarding each of ten issues. Results identify future needs and barriers in the following categories: influence of technological and scientific advancements; effects of social changes; how to improve community involvement; role of local, state, and federal government; response to future occupational trends and innovations; how to meet the needs of minorities, disadvantaged, and handicapped; future educational strategies; identification of future problems; occupations which will be eliminated; and need for greater access to occupational education. (Statistical results and description of responses to each question are included along with related recommendations.) (JT)
