Abstract

This study examines the extent to which students obtain postsecondary credentials in the career technical education (CTE) fields of focus they choose in high school. Using school fixed-effects models, we find that focusing on a particular CTE field in high school is associated with an increased probability of enrolling and obtaining a postsecondary credential in that field. The secondary–postsecondary relationship varies across focus areas, and it is strongest in health (increase of 12.5 percentage points), which is disproportionately chosen by females. Across all fields of focus, however, most students enroll and obtain a postsecondary credential in fields that are different from what they focused on in high school.

高中职业技术教育重点领域与大学专业的衔接

这项研究考察了学生在高中选择的职业技术教育（CTE）领域获得中学后学历的程度。使用学校固定效应模型，我们发现在高中专注于某个特定的CTE领域与在该领域注册和获得中学后证书的概率增加有关。中学-中学后的关系因重点领域而异，在健康方面表现最为强烈（增加了12.5个百分点），而女性选择健康的比例过高。然而，在所有关注的领域中，大多数学生都在与高中时不同的领域注册并获得了中学后证书。

期刊介绍： Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis (EEPA) publishes manuscripts of theoretical or practical interest to those engaged in educational evaluation or policy analysis, including economic, demographic, financial, and political analyses of education policies, and significant meta-analyses or syntheses that address issues of current concern. The journal seeks high-quality research on how reforms and interventions affect educational outcomes; research on how multiple educational policy and reform initiatives support or conflict with each other; and research that informs pending changes in educational policy at the federal, state, and local levels, demonstrating an effect on early childhood through early adulthood.
