.1...:ethod of Operation: The Utah ECU is a small orp:anizaticm with the equiv-alent of two and one half professional Personnel headquartered in the()Trice of the State Superintendent of Riblio Instruction and in a branch

office at the Utah State University. The =all professional staff wassupplemented with zraduate students who were trained and then assignedspecific projects toperformmder the direction of the Professional staffmembers. In addition assistaace and direction was given to other graduatestudents, teachers, administrators and personnel from other disciplinesin the PerforrPrce of vocational and technical education research projects.

Results: The ECU was involved in one way or another in approximately 30projects during this report period, and the results of those completedwere forwarded as enclosures to interim reports to the USOE ard, underseparate cover, to ERIC. Projects completed since submission of the lastinterim report are enclosed herewith, or will soon be submitted.

Recommendations: It is recommended that the Utah Research CoorrlinatingUnit be continued in the future and at gradually increasing finding levels.

Introduction

ProblemStated most concisely, the basic problem was the need for immediate andultimate expansion and improvement of vccatioms1 and teelnical educationin the State of Utah.

BackgroundThe original Research Coordinating Unit (ECU) contract expired 30 Rovember1966 and a second ECU Grant was in effect 1 December 1966 through 30 June1968. This final report of activities covers the third grant period of14 months, 1 July 1968 through 31 August 1969, for Project Io. 6-3+3461entitled, "Extension Grant for the Utah Research Coorainating Unit forVocational Education".

The Utah WU was headquartered throughout this period in the Office ofthe State Superintendent of PUblic Instruction at the University ClubBuilding, 136 East South Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah. The Director was

located within this office. A. branch office of the ECU, under an Asso-ciate Director, was located at Utah State University, Logan, Utah. Intra-

state coordination of research activities in Utah was assisted by weansof frequent contacts between the ECU staff members and State specialists,local school district personnel interested in research, and with represen-tatives of the institutions of higher education throughout the State.

MissionThe Utah ECU was established to be of service to all persons in the Statewho had concern and interest in research efforts which could ultimatelyimprove the vocational and technical education programs and opportunitiesfor youth at the high school as well as the post-high school level, andfor those adults who are in need of retraining to meet the demands of afast changing world-of-work.

The missions of the Utah ECU, listed below, were selected as the areasmost in need of study and systematic scientific investigation to provideanswers to the many problems and questions faced in the solution to theoverall problem, the improvement of vocational and technical educationprograms in the State of Utah.

The missions of the RCU were:

a. The establishment of research needs;b. The supervision and conduct of vocationel research projects;c. The development of research competencies among the personnel

of the State;a. The dissemination of vocational education research information;e. The provision of assistance in preparing vocational education

research proposals.

Method

OrganizationAs mentioned earlier, the Utah ECU was headquartered in Salt Lake City,Utah, in the Office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction,with a branch office and Associate Director at Utah State University.The Director reported to the Administrator of the Research and innova-tion Division in the State Office. Close liaison and daily contact wasmaintained by the Director with the Administrator for Vocational andTechnical Education and with the State VocationP1 Specialists.

The Utah ECU was manned mostly by Research Assistants recruited fromamong the graduate students of the Utah State University, and the Uni-versity of Utah. The Director and the Associate Director trained thesegraduate assistants in the techniques of educational research, assignedresearch tasks to them, assisted in planning projects, monitored progress,and consulted in preparation of final reports. As these assistants gainedexperience they were able more and more to operate almost independently.In such a fashion, a maximum amount of research was undertaken with aminimum commitment of funds, and full time staff I, :e freed to work withlocal district personnel and assist them in planning and implementingprograms. This method was referred to as the team approach to research;the graduate assistant served as the Principal Investigator, the RCUDirector or Associate Director served as the Project Officer, and subjectmatter or single discipline specialists throughout the State served asconsultants.

everal techniques were erployed to establin the vccaticnal and tech-

nical eincation research needy in th,_ Ztate, and all of the methods were

focused at the needs of the Practitioner. The solution of real and

i=ediate problems was the over-riding factor in the establishment of

research needs and of priorities within the needs.

Research needs were identified at several levels within the educational

hierarchy in the Ztate:

Secendari Teacher Level: In workshops and briefings teachers were en-

couraged to submit descriptions of problems which they faced in their

awn environs which ware in need of study and solution. Also, meetings

were held with individual teachers to discuss particular problems in

need of research. Many suggestions were received and some resulted in

research projects which culminated in recommended solutions. An example

of such a project is "Science in the Home Economics Curriculum.°

District Specialist and Administration Level: Under circumstances sim-

ilar to those mentioned above, district administrators, vocational direc-

tors, and discipline specialists were also encouraged to contribute to

the research efforts of the ECU by indicating areas of deficiency or by

proposing answers to problems. Meetings with Vocational Dire !tors were

scheduled tc discuss research needs and the assistance required to meet

these needs. Projects instigated on this level include the "Central

Region Project," and the "Feasibility Study for Establishment of an

Ogden Area Vocational School."

Post-Secondary Teacher and Administration Level: By maintaining close

liaison with the presidents of the technical colleges, through dissemi-

nation of research literature, and as a result of encountering problems

in student placement and teaching, teachers and administrators in post-

secondary institutions suggested a number of problem areas in need of

research and remedy. In some cases the research was done by the instiga-

tor; in others it was done by the ECU or someone appointed by it. Ex-

amples are: "Qualitative Requirements for Heavy Equipment Operators,"

"Chemical Process Operator Survey," and "Buildings and Grounds Mhpagement

Course Survey."

State Specialist Level: Since the State Specialists were very aware of

many of the problems in their on areas of specialization, they found in

the ECU a way to approach solutions of those problems; the ECU investi-

gated, or provided for investigation of, many of these problems. Also,

daily contact with the State Specialists in the office and at schools

often led to discussion sessions, planning meetings, and the design of

projects. Examples of investigations prompted by the State Specialists

are the "Eye Safety Study," and "Evaluation of Special Needs Ounmer

Program."

RCU Recommended Projects: Certain needs for research were also identified

by RCU personnel as a result of conversations with other states and a

knowledge of local conditions. In addition, one research project frequently

revealed the need for another. Problem areas thus identified were always

discussed with the Vocational Coordinators, Specialists, and/or Directors

before being formally classified as a vocational area in need of research,

and research projects were cleared with the State Administrator for Voca-

tional Education before being undertaken.

Page 10: r- 1't''Uait - ed

The method used to st* 3y identifiel problems was: (1) discuss then withthe Person or Per:ens who brcurr_ht them to the attention of the ECU tofurther deliniate and de? them, (2) assign a principal investigatorfrom anon the mduate students or some other interested and qualifiedPerson, (3) appoint an advisor; ca=l-ttee +There appropriate, (1) begindetailed Planning and initiation of the study, (5) complete the studyand disseminate the results to tLe originator and others, and (6) assistin Pilot programs to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solution.This method of operation helped to insure that the research would fill adefinite need in the State and that the results would be used.

The ECU also sought graduate students willing to do their theses or dis-sertations in areas of interest to the Vocational Division of the Officeof the State Superintendent. several students accepted such subjects,and in these cases limited financial support was Provided to helpthe expenses involved. One such project was the "Site election Study."in addition, recently retired school teachers and adninistrators were en-couraged to undertake vocational education research nrograms. "ChemicalProcess Operator Survey" is an example of a project initiated in thisnanner.

Supervision and Conduct of ResearchThe ECU had, upaer its immediate auspices, the conduct of several researchprojects carried out by the graduate research assistants regularly hiredon alielf time basis in both offices of the ECU, besides larger, morecomprehensive projects requiring full time supervision. In both cases,the Director or Associate Director acted as the immediate supervisor,lending direction and assistance as required or requested, and occasion-ally the more experienced of the graduate assistants also acted as super-visors of projects.

This supervision was exercised constantly throuphout the conduct of pro-jects. It began at the earliest planing states, and carried throughduring the proposal preparation, at significant points during the conductof the project, during evaluation of data, in preparation of the final re-port, and finally, in submitting the report to the U.S. Office of Educa-tion for review.

Several methods of supervision were utilized at all of these points, themost significant and encompassing of which was the Project Evaluation andReview Technique (PERT) . With the constant use of PERT in planning andcarrying out research, supervision could be exercised at critical points,for spot checking, debriefings, visits to projects, and over-all reviewof the status of the project.

RCU professional personnel attended national and regiorel conferences onresearch, and the Director as member of key research committees in theState. As a result of these meMbel-rhips and meetings, the Director be-came acquainted with the research in progress and planned, and could thenexercise a more effective supervision during both the planning and theconduct of vocational education projects- and duplication was minimized.Also, the Director was able to inform inquiring agencies about RCU coor-dinated projects, and these agencies could then also avoid duplication.

Development of Research CompetenciesThe RCU attempted to develop research competencies among the personnel ofthe State through such activities asa)encouragementorgvaduatestudents bp do

resulted in an increased numLer of educaticral personnel actively on ringin, developinz,; or implementing answers to a variety of probler's in vcca-

tiOrni education.

In an effort to dispel some of the aura of mystery that surrounds the ideaof educational research, and thus encourage individuals to at least attemptto learn more about it, the Ear was in the habit of briefing the results ofon-going and completed research projects to educational personnel through-out the state. In this way also, people interested and competent in re-search were identified as they inquired for further information or brought

additional problems to the attention of the ECU.

Dissemination of Researc;:., nformationAlthorn the dissemination of vocational education research informationwas a.tesirpted or accomplished by several methods, the ECU was unable tofind adequate means of getting all the appropriate information to all theright people at the most appropriate time in order to maximize the possi-bility that they would wake use of the work already done by others. Dur-ing the first grant period, an attempt was wide to blaigset the entireZtate with information in the form of abstracts sent to local and Statedirectors of research, vocational education, and other evidently appro-priate individuals; this means of dissemination was found to be imprac-tical and inadequate however, and different nays were attempted.

Also used as a means of dissemination of the results of research accom-plished were presentations to teachers and students in graduate classesat the universities, and in workshops and conferences for in-servicetraining and/or recertification. By this means it was expected that in-formation would be related to those most concerned with progress in edu-cation and who could best utilize the information. It was also hopedthat these people would be stimulated to attempt projects of their onto solve problems they encountered.

These methods, however, were found to be too cumbersome, and due toinsufficient staff, difficult to maintain and they seemed to be generallysimply ineffective. The best means of dissemination of information foundwas meetings of the staff and various committees which the ECU Directorregularly attended. These always Included Instructional Staff and Re-search Committee meetings. In these meetings the Director was able toacquaint the staff of the State Superintendentls office with the researchaccomplished and in progress, and the staff in turn often suggested tothe Director research that was needed; the result was often a planningsession and frequently new programs were developed or results were uti-lized. In addition, informal spontaneous contacts with local and StatePersonnel have been found to be an effective, although not comprehensive,

In this co=unication, the ECU atte_zipLed to de-terzine the research in progress, cor:pleted, and plPrIned by thesear:encies, and aired at acquainting them with the work of the Utah FLU.

Assistance_f in Preparing Research ProposalsThe ECU made it a practice to be available for the preparation of voca-tiopel education research proposals.

Liaison was maintained with agencies in the Site in which there wereindividuals co:met-ant in research, such as universities, technicalcolleges, and the vocational education and eurricultzi special ists ofthe districts, and within the Office of the State Superintendent ofPublic Instruction. As research needs were established, as describedabove, these agencies were contacted and their interest in par suingan answer to the stated problem was determined. Often one of theirpersonnel would be interested in the question, and from this contact aprincipal investigator was appointed.

In cooperation with this principal investigator, the draft of a proposalto secure State or Federal funding would be begun, and arrangements forconsultants made as this need arose. The ECU either wrote, or assistedin writing of the proposals to conform with State and Federal specifica-tions, and the proposal would then be submitted to the State ResearchCormittee. (o proposals were submitted to the U.S. Office of Educationduring this grant period.)

In connection with this process of preparing proposals, the RCU arrangedfor consultant assistance, graduate student assistance, and administra-tive support for the conduct of research and preparation of interim andfinal reports. Also, the RCU was ready to provide supervision and assis-tance in conduct of the research after it had been funded and begun.

The RCU utilized this activity of supervision and assistance to look forindicators of additional needed research in the same or related fieldsto meet the training needs of youth and adults.

One year of trial has teen conpleted, theProgram has been revised to make it more compatible with the localenvironment, and the program will be evaluated at the end of thesecond year.

"Over-the-Shoulder" This phase of the project is patterned aftera program developed by Paola, Kansas School. District. The rocus ofthe program revolves around four two-week. blocks of exploration ofoccupations of the llth grade youth's choice. In each school quarterthe student will have the opportunity to study attitudes; sir :il s,and the education needed for a particular job by observing peopleworking in that job. Each observation period has the student fill-ing out application forms, as if he mere actually applying for thejob. The student will spend one to two hours each day for a weekin local industry actually observing the job in which he is inter-ested. From these observations it is hoped that the student willbe able to make a more realistic choice of educational and occupa-tional goals. The first trial year will occur during the l9(9-1970 school year.

Sine very linited cooperative work-study opreortuniti es areavailable in most, rural areas, a mobile trailer unit was outfittedwith sophisticated office equipment 7-Prmed by an itinerant teacher,and provided with a simulation curriculum, and it traveled amcngfour rural high schools. Through simulation, rural office occupa-tions students have become acquainted with some of the problemsand har.rassients encountered in the world-of-work, and should nowbe better able to compete with students who cane from urban areas.

4. Science in the Home Economics Curriculum. Completed; see PERI,p.25, Appendix. The report of this project has already beensubnitted.

The purpose of this study was to examine how home economics teachersuse chemistry in the homemalring curriculum at the secondary level.

gore specifically, this study hoped to determine:

.?..) The extent to which the fifty states required science in

the home economics education curriculum.2) The extent to which science was used in the classroom

situation.

3) The extent to which classroom teachers who have not hadscience were handicapped in their teaching.

14-) Recommendations for vhange in the curriculum of homeeconomics education majors to eliminate any lumecessary

science instruction.

Conclusions and recommendations indicated that more liberal and

basic science options should be provided the home economics educa-

tion major, as requirements at present cover material that is not

generally applicable to secondary home economics teaching.

The objective of this project was to evaluate tIe effectiveness ofa commuter program for high school dropouts and Potential dropoutsoperate? Ly the Clearfield Jets Corps Center (CJUC) in conjunctionwith Ogden and Fox Elder school districts, and the Utah State Boardfor Vocational Education. The students spent 1-;alf their tine invocatioral trairirg of their choice, and half in basic educationinstruction. On-the-job training in community industries was alsoprovided for the trainees. Job placement wus arranged by the CJCC'splacement service at the completion of the training program. Theevaluation will measure the program's effectiveness as compared toa control group in terms of success in retaining the trainees inthe program until its completion, and of the ability of the gradu-ates of the program to obtain and retain a job upon its completion.

16. Evaluatim of ...,pecial Reeds Summer Program. Completed; seePERT, p.36, Appendix. The final report of this project isenclosed.

This project evaluated the effectiveness of a special summer programfor high school dropouts held during the summer of 19(8 in severalschool districts in Utah. The programs grew out of a course inspecial problems for selected vocational education teachers offeredat the University of Utah during the storing quarter, 1968. Eachteacher prepared an outline of identified needs of his students whohad dropped out of school during the current school year. Theseoutlines were then used by the teachers as a guide in operatingsummer programs in their schools; each program, being based on adifferent outline, was different. The objectives of the overallprogram were to encourage the dropout to return to school and toremain in school, and/or to help him obtain employment stability.The experimental group was compared with a matched control groupon the following factors: rate of return to school, continuationin school, and employment stability.

17. Site Selection Study. Completed; see PERT, p.37, Appendix.The final report of this project is enclosed.

The ECU is assisting in preparation of behavioral objectives in thefour areas of emphasis using the INZGRCUP tiering technique (policy,Program, curricular, and instructional objectives), and in theorganization and funding of workshops to write the objectives. On-site evaluations will be made of the schools in the region by thePrincipal investigator to evaluate their present program againstthese objectives. Weak areas and gaps will

will be listed, and a more comprehensive curricular planwill be attempted in the subject areas.

24. Plpnning-Programming-Budgeting for Central Region Service Agency.Continuing; see PEE T, -0.43 Appendix.

This project is an outgrowth of the Central. Region project mentionedAbove. It is the objective of this project to install a PPB systemin selected pilot districts of the State and measure the effective-ness of it as a management tool. The initial objective is to pre-pare a proposal for submission to MOE or the State for fundingsupport for the training necessary for on-site personnel in severalPilot districts. The preparation of educational goals and measur-able program objectives will lead to better data which the decision-maker can use to make cost effectiveness analyses in arriving atmore efficient educational decisions.

25. Project RESPECT (Resources for Economic and Social Progressthrough Education and Cooperative Traininq). Continuing; aPERT for this project is not available.

It is the objective of this project to plan and conduct an experi-mental vocational program for the disadvantaged black community inUtah. If successful, the project will enlist, train, and place injobs 50 to 60 Negroes who are not working now (and are considereddisadvantaged), and have Shown an inability to improve their lot.

The focus will be on providing training in fields desired by theindividnal disadvantaged black person and in placing him in a jobwhich he considers worthy of his abilities. A principal investigatorand two assistants ("coaches") have been employed to obtain appli-cants for the program, establish the training requirements, assistin training, and assist in job placement.

The following conclusionsitemize this role:

The Establishment of Research NeedsThe Utah Research Coordinating Unit, actively supported by the stateOuDerintendent of Public instruction and the Administrator of 'Vocationaland Technical Education, operated under the assumption that it was bestfor _bocci research efforts to concentrate on problems that are of pri-mary importance to the State and which would lead to the solution ofProblems important in achieving intermediate and long term objectivesand goals. Consequently, the Utah ECU compiled and maintained a pri-ority listing of areas in the vocationalitedhnical fields in need ofstudy; this list was Periodically checked and updated through liaisonwith the State Vocational Specialists and the local district VocationalDirectors and Superintendents. Such an approach led to a greater pro-portion of "solicited" research as opposed to "nn solicited," and henceto solutions of more immediate and central problems.

The Supervision and Conduct of Vocational Research ProjectsThe ECU considered this to be one of its most important missions. Manyresearch projects were conducted directly by the staff of the ECU, whileothers, originated and conducted by non -ECU personnel, were ECU supervisedfrom the planning stages through the submission of the final report. Inthis supervisory capacity, the ECU improved the coordirntion of researchwithin the State, secured consultant service, extended cooperation amongagencies, identified additional research needs, identified and developedcompetencies nrong the personnel of the State, assisted in or providedfor dissemination of research results, and was instrumental in the imple-mentation of the solutions found. Program Evaluation arfl Review Technique(PE) was habitually used for the planning, conducting and monitoringof research pro . s.

The Development of Research Competencies Among the Personnel of the StateIf more resEardh is to be accomplished in the vocational and t?chnicaleducation area, then a broader base of available researchers must beestablished. A. three-pronged attack of this problem was initiated: thedevelopment of an interest in accomplished educational researchers in theundertaking of the solution of a vocational problem; the training of ad-ditional researchers; and the use of agencies with research competenciesin disciplines other than education. Although the number of researchers

The orientation of Potential researcht-,:rz pri-arfaythrcuffh wore-r.hons for t"....e vccaticlial and technicaleducation teachers and ae,linistratorz of Vi e f'tf.1.,t4-_,y. The annual week'sirorkshop held in June at Utah State University for all the vocaticr_aland tecl.Ani.iml educators of the rtape provided the best oDnortnnity forinstruction in research techniques and termir.oio,7y. Thrcugh these 7r:oft:-shops more people t"ecane aware of the services of the ECU and of thevalue of research in critical vocational areas. Possibly the ,eatestadvantage of this traC of workshop was the arousing of a curiosity orinterest in research.

The Dissemination of Vocational Education Research In.-for:rationnince its inception, the FLU has attrnted to find an adequate r..e.anzof dissemination of the information it acquired. As renticned cnpaces 5 and 6, several means of dissr,Tnine.tion have been tried, includ-inz the b3.anket-ing of the State with abstracts, presentations in 1,:or.k-shops and cmferences, a-T2i interaction with vocational educators andadministrators. All of these methods resultea in acquainting someindividnOs with the work of the FLU and accon:Iplishnents in vccaticn.aleducation research. It appears, however, that the most effective dis-semination is accomplished through personal contact with re'sear'chers andpotential researchers, actual users of the results of research, and theuse of pilot projects. The use of the ERIC system is evidently the mosteffective mePns of lirationAl dissemination and the ECU has attempted toacquaint personnel in the State with ERIC so it coiad be more widelyused. A method which was found to be reasonably effective was the par-ticination by the Director and. Assistant Director in State and localworkshops and conferences. As a result of this participation, teachersand administrators began to show increased interest in the ECU and itsresearch efforts.

The Provision of Assistance in Preparing Vocational Education ResearchProposals

tlany of the persons in the State who face problems that are in needof research or who are interested in conducting a research program arenot knowledgeable of the various formats required by State and Federalagencies and are sometimes inexperienced in expressing their ideas inthe normal language of research. The ECU made it a point to remaincurrent in the format required by the various agencies so as to be ableto advise potential researchers. In addition, the services of the ECUwere available and often used in "brainstorming" sessions to help defineand transcribe the statement of the problem and the description of theresearch design to adequately study the problem. It became more widelyrecognized -vritkn the State that early involvement of the ECU would oftensave the researcher considerable time and effort in the long run.
