Vocational Education Today: Participation Rates, Student Composition, and Early Outcomes of the NLSY97 Presented: San Diego, CA, American Educational Research Association Annual Meeting, 2004 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Educational Research Association Keyword(s): College Education; Event History; High School Curriculum; High School Dropouts; Transition, School to Work; Vocational Education Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In contrast to the visible efforts in American schools to increase academic standards are the less obvious efforts to improve the academic preparation and outcomes for non-college bound students. Between 1990-1998, several pieces of legislation were passed that directly affected the high school experience of vocational students. Using four rounds of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, we examine vocational education in U.S. high schools. Specifically, we examine course-taking in career and technical education (CTE), participation in particular school-to-work programs (e.g., job shadowing, mentoring, and cooperative education), and the integration of these courses with academic courses. We focus upon whether opportunities and participation rates changed during the 1990s, perhaps as a result of federal legislation. Further, we give attention to the CTE participation rates and effects of participation for females, minorities and other subgroups. Descriptive statistics, regression models, and event history analysis are employed to study effects on high school grades, on-time progress toward graduation, high school dropout, and expectations about the future. |
