The purpose of this research was to explore non-persistence by vocational students in the College of Career and Vocational Education at the University of Alaska Anchorage. A cohort of 156 students were identified and tracked from fall 1989 through spring 1992. In the first part of the study, using the University of Alaska Anchorage Institutional Research data base, demographic characteristics of the cohort, their patterns of enrollment and performance were identified. In the second part of the study, a sample of 12 non-persisters within the cohort were interviewed to learn about their motives for enrolling in postsecondary vocational education, factors contributing to their withdrawal and their perceptions regarding the quality of their educational experiences. Traditional-age (19 and under) students were the dominant age group, representing 46 percent of the cohort. Eighty percent of the students within the cohort were full-time students taking 12 or more credits. Over half (55 percent) of the students were "early-leavers" who discontinued their education at some point within the first year of the study. The graduation rate for the cohort was 3.8 percent and, at the conclusion of the study, 7.1 percent of the original cohort had maintained continuous enrollment, however, if students attending in stop-and-go patterns were included, 14.7 percent were still persisting. Implications for further study revealed by the interviews of "early-leavers" (i.e., students who did not persist beyond the first or second semesters of the study) included the following questions: 1. What retention strategies, policies and procedures can be implemented to encourage persistence of vocational students beyond the first or second semester? 2. How can the University of Alaska Anchorage assist students with their career development and decision-making? 3. How can the University of Alaska Anchorage encourage the persistence of commuter students? / Graduation date: 1995

The problem with which this study is concerned is that of developing a curriculum guide educators can use in planning and organizing a course of study involving computer drafting at the junior college and technical vocational school levels. This study is also concerned with the impact of computer drafting on the present drafting curriculum.

<p>In this study the reader will learn how to work with student adaptation as a method for students to easier study and learn mathematics at a vocational school focusing on vehicle maintenance. This secondary school is located in the southern part of Sweden. Four math teachers who teach at this program use in-depth interview when it comes into explaining what they mean regarding adaptation and its role in teaching this students and helping them pass the course. This is very much a topic of today and has been so for some time. We hear about reports which reveals alarmingly low levels of know light which continue to drop especially at vocational programs in particular in mathematic. The math teachers describe specific obstacles and circumstances which in their experiences will limit their teaching options and alternatives and therefore will also limit the adaptation and its role. One may say in general that adaptation not necessarily is a method with an obvious template to follow so many various players will have to be involved in the teaching. This holds true with regards to all various aspects of learning. The student is here by enabled to see and experience the full picture of the program and the subject in question. No matter what the subject is, focus will always be the goal of the program and the students’ future careers. There are questions as to whether there may be conflicts of interest between the various actors involved in the learning process.</p><p>.</p>
