A Study on the Process of Choosing a Commissioned Vocational Education Course in General High Schools

The purposes of this study are to examine the actual operation of commissioned vocational education courses for students at general high schools and find implications for their improvement measures. The findings show that many students pursued a goal of getting a job through such courses rather than advancing to college unlike findings in previous studies, which seems like a desirable change to fit the operational purport of commissioned vocational education courses at general high schools. The study further examined important factors in the choice of commissioned vocational education courses including the time when they first learned about such courses, the time they decided to take such a course, the reasons behind their choice, the opportunities for their decision, provision of career education, and future career plans and found that some of its findings were different from those of previous studies. When I learned vocational education that first learned about vocational education courses in the 1st grade than those in the first and second semester of the 2nd grade. More students made the decision on their own rather than the recommendation of others. A higher percentage of students wanted to get a job through such courses than those who wished to advance to college unlike in the previous studies. These findings raise a need to adjust the time when information about commissioned vocational education courses is provided to the 1st grade.
