An Analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey Youth Cohort Data Related to Industrial Arts and Vocational Education Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Missouri - Columbia, 1985 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Education; Vocational Education The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of industrial arts, vocational or general education course exposure on high school graduates (with complete transcripts) in the NLSY. Four sets of thrusts (demographics, post high school work experience, post high school educational experience and work concepts) were used to investigate the effects of such exposure. It was found that industrial arts exposed respondents outnumber their vocational counterparts, hence the typical grouping together of industrial arts and vocational education data seems most inappropriate. Despite their typically lower academic records, industrial arts and vocational education respondents do go on for further education after high school, attending the first four years of college in larger percentages than do general education respondents. The study concludes that industrial arts and vocational education exposure seems to have a positive effect on post high school labor market experience. Industrial arts and vocational education respondents appeared to be unemployed for shorter amounts of time than do their general education counterparts. |
