- Summary:
-
The study reviewed the application of General Education Development (GED) and Specific Vocational Preparation (SVP) data (as categorized by the "Dictionary of Occupational Titles"--DOT) to educational institutions, manpower agencies, and private foundations in curriculum development, area planning, management information systems, and career counseling and guidance activities. Additionally, the study reviewed the military agencies to determine any possible uses of the DOT and/or its worker trait components, including the GED and SVP. The results follow: There is no published evidence of any systematic and comprehensive use of GED and SVP data in curricula development, area planning, management information systems, or career counseling and guidance by any educational institutions; however, GED and SVP data can be effectively and efficiently utilized in all these areas with some knowledge and expertise of their limitations; disseminated occupational data from the U.S. Department of Labor should be more effectively utilized by educational institutions, especially since the Federal role in developing and disseminating this information provides a high degree of objectivity and acceptability for local uses in area planning; and, finally, the major limitations to using GED and SVP data are the lack of knowledge and understanding of the DOT and its worker-trait information.
