Abstract | In examining how one state (Illinois) approaches the development of a comprehensive state capacity for program improvement in vocational education, it is helpful to review federal legislative action. Research and development (R & D) did not become an official legislative element of vocational education until the 1963 Vocational Education Act was enacted. Its major provisions supported research in vocational education and established the Research Coordinating Units (RCUs). The major provisions of the 1968 Amendments to the 1963 Act changed the face of the RCUs and redirected the efforts of many states. Prior to the passage of the Educational Amendments of 1976 a two-year study conducted by the National Academy of Science Committee on Vocational Education Research and Development (COVERD) examined the total spectrum of vocational education R & D. The messages presented by COVERD should be addressed in any effort to develop a state-level comprehensive plan. The past legislative changes have moved vocational education R & D from basic to applied research and the RCUs from universities to state departments. Most RCUs may ultimately become an integral part of the total vocational education system at the state level. (The author explains how Illinois is implementing various legislative provisions. His answers to sixteen questions from the audience of vocational education research and development personnel are appended.) (EM) |
