|
OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SEGMENT OF THE |
|
DROPOUT POPULATION. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES WERE TO (1) |
|
DETERMINE THEIR EMPLOYMENT STATUS, (2) DETERMINE THEIR |
|
PATTERN OF INTEREST AND PERSONALITY, (3) SUGGEST |
|
OCCUPATIONAL FIELDS FOR WHICH TRAINING PROGRAMS SHOULD BE |
|
DEVELOPED, AND (4) PROVIDE DATA TO CONSTRUCT AN |
|
INSTRUMENT FOR IDENTIFYING STUDENTS WHO WOULD BENEFIT |
|
FROM THE PROPOSED TRAINING PROGRAMS. THE SUBJECTS WERE |
|
125 MALE AND 81 FEMALE DROPOUTS AND A LIKE NUMBER OF MALE |
|
AND FEMALE PERSISTERS OF COMPARABLE INTELLIGENCE, |
|
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND GRADE LEVEL. THE INFORMATION GATHERED |
|

|

|
CURRICULUM ENROLLMENT, SCHOOL TRANSFER, POST SCHOOL |
|
ACTIVITIES, FURTHER EDUCATION, OCCUPATIONAL GOALS, |
|
OCCUPATIONAL LEVEL OF PARENTS, EDUCATIONAL LEVEL OF |
|
