Participation in Secondary Vocational Education and its Relationship to College Enrollment and Major Ph.D. Dissertation, Northeast Missouri State University, 1988 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): College Enrollment; College Major/Field of Study/Courses; Education, Secondary; High School Completion/Graduates; Vocational Education This study investigated information from the NLSY for the years 1979 through 1982. Specifically, data regarding participation in secondary vocational education courses, high school completion, college enrollment, and college major were analyzed via Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival distribution and log linear models to ascertain the nature of relationships among the amount and kind of participation in secondary vocational education, whether the student enrolled in college and, if they did, what their college major was. Findings showed that students who develop concentrations in an area of secondary vocational education were less likely to enroll in college over time. Of those students who do enroll in college, level of participation was related to college major. After compressing further across levels of participation, patterns of enrollment were not significantly different. However, patterns of college majors varied significantly with type of secondary vocational education participation. |
