- Summary:
-
A study investigated the effects of two different aspects of career education: cognitive and affective instruction. First, two cognitive teaching methods--direct instruction and individual contracting--were examined. Second, the influence of affective instruction was evaluated. Subjects were 138 students at a continuation high school in Southern California who ranged in age from 16 to 20. Students were divided into four treatment groups: affective and direct instruction, direct instruction only, affective instruction and independent contracts, and independent contracts only. Student scores on assessments of career knowledge and attitudes were analyzed before and after treatment. Data analysis revealed no significant differences between any groups on either pretest measure, but significant posttest differences were found between instructional methods and affective learning groups. Results indicated that both direct instruction and affective instruction were effective in increasing knowledge and in improving attitudes. Each treatment was significant by itself. The effects of direct cognitive instruction were significant regardless of affective instruction, and the effects of affective instruction were significant regardless of direct or contract experience.
