Abstract | In 1989, a study was conducted to explore career-vocational faculty members' perceptions of students and of elements which would improve articulation between secondary schools and community colleges. The study also involved surveys of community college chief executive officers (CEO's), high school principals, and Regional Occupational Programs and Centers (ROP/C) directors regarding the leadership qualities needed to provide an optimum career-vocational teaching and learning environment. The study sample included 25 California community colleges and 263 high schools and ROP/C's; 24 colleges, 230 high schools, and 27 ROP/C's participated. Survey responses were received from 762 college instructors, 1,073 high school instructors, 164 ROP/C teachers, 18 college CEO's, 136 high school principals, and 23 ROP/C directors. Study results included the following: (1) high school and college faculty agreed that career-vocational students lacked basic skills, analytical skills, study skills, self-motivation, self-esteem, and family support; (2) barriers to effective instruction included cultural and economic differences among students, lack of interdisciplinary cooperation among faculty, and lack of cooperation between high school faculty and community college faculty; and (3) community college CEO's, high school principals, and ROP/C directors agreed that the institution's lead officer should emphasize the worth and value of career-vocational programs, take responsibility for creating formal articulation councils among and between educational institutions, and consider reorganizing the current college/high school administrative structure to ensure strong industry relations and to promote high school liaison activities and projects.
