Competencies in Career Education: A Student's Guide for the Instructional Component.

Overview & Synopsis

The general objective of this study guide is that the education student will understand the principles of career education and the issues related to the concept, be familiar with operational education models, and be able to plan and integrate activities into his teaching that will foster career development. The course is organized into five modules which represent the goals of the study in career education. The modules are: (1) forces giving impetus to career education; (2) identification of concepts, issues, problems, and trends in career education; (3) analysis of acceptance of career education; (4) study of operational career education models; and (5) development of techniques and materials for teaching career education. The first four modules are studied as background for the final module, and it is expected that at least half of the effort of this study will be expended in achieving the competencies for the final module. Each module includes an outline rationale, prerequisites needed, a preassessment, enabling objectives for the module, a discussion of the module concept and the issues which should be considered, learning alternatives for the student, and a postassessment. Appended to each module are resource materials. (Author/BP)
