Description
Summary:The primary purpose of the project was to develop cost-effectiveness materials to be used in conducting locally directed secondary school vocational education program investigations. Based on a literature review, eight key elements in the cost-effectiveness system were identified and a conceptual model and data instruments for cost-effectiveness analysis for secondary vocational programs were developed. (These are published as a separate technical report.) This work resulted in an administrator's manual conceived as a self-instructional guide. (The manual is published as a separate document.) The model, data instruments, and the manual were examined by research and evaluation experts and vocational administrators. The development of the cost-effectiveness analysis model included (1) specification of program objectives, (2) identification of output indicators, (3) delineation of cost analysis, (4) presentation of mathematical formulas for computing cost-effectiveness measures, (5) presentation of five types of data instruments and forms, and (6) delineation of standard procedures for using the cost-effectiveness system.
