Abstract

This thesis was prepared as a study of the desirability and the feasibility of successfully teaching specific economic concepts and understandings, through the use of Distributive Education, to students in Florida vocational-technical schools. Five areas of economic understanding were measured by a questionnaire containing fifty questions. This instrument was administered to the experimental group of fifty-two students from the Lake County Area Vocational Technical Center in Eustis, Florida, and two control groups; forty-eight students of the North Technical Education Center in Riviera Beach, Florida, and fifty students in Distributive Education programs in four high schools in Palm Beach County, Florida. The results of the test revealed the following: (a) economic concepts and understandings can be taught through this method, (b) students in this type proqram scored significantly higher than students that had not been exposed to a program of Distributive Education , and (c) the Lake County students scored as well on the whole as the high school Distributive Education students.
