Abstract	Purpose: This study was an attempt to Identify activities and factors essential for the implementation of a pre-high school career education program in Louisiana, as conceived by six professional education groups: parish superintendents, parish supervisors, guidance counselors, teacher educators, principals, and teachers. A knowledge of the concepts held by those administering, structuring curriculums, counseling, training teachers and teaching will give direction, scope, content, and methodology to the relatively new program of career education in the public schools of this state. Not only is it important that one knows what others conceive, but that all groups have a clear philosophy of the role they are to assume in performing the task of educating all people for useful and productive lives. Also this study was an attempt to provide information that will be useful to educators in the state of Louisiana as they approach educational reform and assist in the development of the concept that career education offers a reasonable goal to help young men and women find fulfilling and productive lives in our society. Procedure: The descriptive survey method utilizing the questionnaire technique was developed for this study. Questionnaires consisting of ten major divisions with 87 activities and factors were mailed to 66 parish and city superintendents, 66 parish and city supervisors, 66 guidance counselors, 17 teacher educators, 66 principals and 66 teachers. The instrument was first submitted to a Jury of professional educators in colleges, research centers, and State Department of Education personnel throughout the South for clarity, validity and pertinency of items. All members of the jury except one responded with comments and suggestive changes. These suggestions were incorporated into the Data Gathering Instrument and submitted to the researcher's doctoral committee for review. The mean responses of the six groups were calculated to obtain a rating for each item from each professional group. As a test for significant differences among these groups, the analysis of variance procedure was used. The F-test was applied in determining the degree of difference existing. Finally the null hypothesis was set up as a basis against which each test was to be made and was accepted or rejected at the 0.05 level of confidence. Findings: Significant differences existed among the responses to 21 of the 87 activities at the 0.05 level of confidence. In most cases these differences were based on degree of importance assigned rather than concepts of the roles to be assumed. This is reflected by the fact that all activities were rated at least important by the six groups. Two of the areas--Administration and Out of School Sources--were extremely important according to the average of all responses. Eight of the areas--Supervisors; Instructional Program Grades K-6; Instructional Program Grades 7-9; Teaching Personnel to Teach Career Education Grades K-6; Teaching Personnel to Teach Career Education Grades 7-9; Guidance Service; Specialized Teachers and Research--were important according to the average of all responses. No areas were considered unimportant by the responding groups. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
