The purpose of this study was to develop operational guidelines for the construction of an area vocational-technical school. The data collected were incorporated into an outline of a manual concerned with the construction of an area vocational-technical school.The research was planned to outline, with the use of systems, the constructing, equipping, and operating phases of an area school. A questionnaire was sent to the administrative head of twenty four selected schools to collect data concerned with constructing, equipping and operating their vocational-technical schools. After the questionnaire responses were tabulated and reported, a summary was given showing how each part was dependent upon the whole. A sequence of the thr9e phases was set up to show how each phase was dependent upon the whole for completion of the project.Tie greatest expressed concern in the category of construction was the planning of a facility with a specific educational program in mind. Major concerns in the category of equipment dealt with space requirements and written specifications to be drawn up.In the operation of a facility, high priority was given to the establishment of a governing board and to the availability of funds for actual operational costs.In addition to the questionnaires, a personal interview was conducted with a superintendent of schools; a secondary school principal; and a representative from each of the following categories: labor, management, city council, teachers other than vocational, a school board member, and a chamber of commerce. The interviews were used to determine the degree of awareness of vocational-technical principles and of problems that need to be considered before building an area vocational-technical school in a specific community. While the author had to define some terms to the people being interviewed, these people were experts in at least one of the following areas: School Administration, Superintendent; School Administration, School Board; School Administration, High School Principal; School Instruction, Academic Instructor; Community, Labor Leader; Community, City Council; Community, Management; Community, Chamber of Commerce.In Chapter V of the paper the initial draft of "A Manual for Initial Development of an Area Vocational-Technical School" was outlined. The text of the manual included the philosophy of an area school, the components of a feasibility study, use of existing facilities and equipment, selecting and obtaining new facilities and equipment, curriculum development, legal counsel, bid procedures, laboratory design, related classrooms, operation of a facility, revenue from all sources, expenditures by accounts, and supporting services.

"The enrollment in the Business Education Department of the Orange County Vocational School for the five-year period, beginning July 1, 1950, and ending June 30, 1955, will be surveyed according to the following classifications: (a) sex, (b) source components, (c) average number of monthly enrollments per student, (d) educational preparation of the students, (e) course enrollments, (f) student enrollment by years, (g) student enrollment by months. It is obvious that these classifications are indicative of the scope of the study rather than of the strict order of its development. Four chapters will be devoted to a consideration of enrollment, job calls, job interviews, and job placements. A summary chapter will conclude the study"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "May, 1956." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Education." / Advisor: H.

M.Ed. / Education in South Africa assumes that all learners should have access to effective teaching, so that inequalities can be eliminated and the skills of all learners be optimally developed. It is of cardinal importance that career guidance in schools attempt to maintain a balance between the technological demands of the world of work and the needs of each unique individual learner. Technology Education involves a radical change in the approach to education. It moves away from giving students a set body of knowledge, to a style of creating a wide range of learning activities. One such learning activity is problem-solving which teach learners to think for themselves and provides them with the skills and experiences in researching, designing and evaluating knowledge. Teachers become facilitators and work together with and help learners to reach successful outcomes and competencies. In recent research by the Curriculum 2005 Initiative (1997) in the field of career guidance, the emphasis has been placed on enabling learners to access career and other opportunities and to set goals which will enable them to make the best use of their full potential and talents. It is stated clearly that it has become imperative for education and the world of work to forge closer co-operation in order to prepare the learners for their future working lives and life-long learning prospects. The world of work changes from time to time. There is a need to continuously develop human resources to meet the demands of a growing economy and the needs of all people in the country. An effective career guidance programme is therefore essential in linking the needs of the country with the aspirations, abilities and skills of learners. The research in this study focuses primarily on career guidance in a technologically stimulating school environment. The secondary aims are to investigate the effectiveness of the career guidance teacher, the correlation between the possible influence of the career guidance teacher in grade 11 and 12, and the correlation between learners with Mathematics and Science and their study and career choices. A questionnaire with both open and closed questions was given to grade 12 learners to complete. The questionnaire was validated during a pilot study. The following interesting results were gathered: the aspects that mostly influenced the learner's subject, study and career choice are their interest and love for the subject; there is a correlation between the effectiveness of the guidance teacher and the teaching aids he or she uses in promoting careers; there is a positive correlation between the influence of the guidance teacher in grade 11 and his/her influence in grade 12. there is a correlation between learners with Mathematics and their eventual career choices. This study confirms the importance and influence of career guidance and highlights the reasons and choices which are made by learners regarding careers.
