| 520 | |a This study investigated factors that influence students not to enroll at the Springfield-Clark Joint Vocational School (JVS) and in vocational education at the feeder comprehensive high schools. A cluster sample of 357 nonvocational students was selected from junior English classes from the nine feeder schools and administered a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The top five reasons students gave for not enrolling in vocational education were: (1) plans to attend college; (2) career choice limitations; (3) graduation requirements; (4) academic ability of vocational students; and (5) behavior of vocational students. Students reported that they were influenced not to go to the vocational school by (in order) friends, mothers, fathers, and counselors. The study concluded that the image of vocational education and of the Springfield-Clark JVS needs to be improved, since students have negative images of the students enrolled. Recommendations were made to promote the accomplishments of graduates, especially information about graduates going onto higher education. Recommendations also were made to ease the social transition when students change schools to attend the Springfield-Clark JVS, to promote social activities, to increase positive publicity about the JVS, to encourage counselors to recommend the school, to provide new courses such as child care and development and law enforcement, and to provide more information about the JVS to parents. (Forty-one references and the questionnaire are included.) (KC) | ||
