Abstract | During March and April of 1986, the three members of the Career Education Evaluation Unit of the Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) School District interviewed 29 automotive mechanics teachers working at nine comprehensive high schools, two vocational technical schools, and two skills centers. The interviews focused on the implementation of standardized curriculum in the automotive shops, equipment and supply availability, and the numbers of students enrolled in automotive mechanics classes. The study also attempted to determine the degree to which three out of five student-oriented outcomes of the Career Education Five-Year-Plan were being addressed. Results indicate time and equipment/supply constraints, favorable responses by teachers to the standardized curriculum, student difficulties in the areas of reading and mathematics comprehension, good attitudes toward staff development sponsored by the private automotive industry, and a lack of sex equity and equal access for the handicapped in program implementation. Enrollment statistics, a list of equipment that teachers considered necessary for implementing standardized curriculum, the interview instrument, and a summary of a June 3, 1986 instructional staff meeting in Philadelphia are appended.
