- Summary:
-
An evaluation of the Experience Based Career Education (EBCE) Program of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCEBCE) for summer, 1977, was conducted to provide preliminary information for the three-year program effort to use in program planning and decision making for the 1977-78 school year. DCEBCE was evaluated using the Context, Input, Process, and Product Model since it afforded a useful classification system of the strategies that can be employed to evaluate programs aimed at educational change. DCEBCE was based on the Far West Laboratory (FWL) version of EBCE, which serves as a comprehensive, individualized and alternate plan of learning for high school youth, and provides community work experiences for students. Focus of the evaluation was on identifying characteristics of the initial group of forty-seven beginning and ending tenth grade student participants in the summer program and determining program impact on them. Students were pretested in the areas of self-awareness, career maturity, and basic academic competency. Evaluation results showed that the summer program had been successful, with students and resource persons expressing mutual appreciation. Recommendations based on results of the evaluation included further developing the DCEBCE program into a model program, especially in the area of career development; hiring a skills specialist to train students in areas of deficiency; and hiring a counselor to meet students needs in career guidance and counseling.
