Abstract
The study of occupational learning began in 1981-82,
when the students currently in the eleventh grade of the
Springfield schools were in the fourth grade. Data have
subsequently been gathered from the students during their
eighth and ninth grades in school. Data have been gathered
from the students in individual interviews (fourth and ninth
grades), from questionnaires completed during class hours
(fourth, eighth, and ninth grades), from written essays on
their future plans written during class hours (fourth and
eighth grades), from the school records on achievement and
attendance (fourth grade), from teachers and administrators
(eighth grade), and from mothers of the students (fourth and
eighth grade). Earlier reports prepared for the district
(1985 and 1986) are available on request from the author.
The current report focuses first on characteristics of the
students in the ninth grade and changes in their views from
the fourth to the ninth grade, and, second, on the
transition from middle school to high school. Analyses
other than those reported here can be completed upon
request.
