This Review and Synthesis of Information on Occupational Exploration is one of a series of "state of the art" papers in vocational and technical education and related fields. Legislation and societal concern have given new focus and special emphasis to occupational exploration and prevocational education in grades K-12. The purpose of this document is to review and synthesize the most significant research and information available concerning occupational exploration in kindergarten through grade 12 and to serve as a useful reference for educators who will be developing these programs. The primary focus will be on total school responsibility in organizing, implementing, and operating occupational exploration programs for the elementary, junior high, and senior high school as well as comprehensive program efforts for kindergarten through grade 12. The document base for this paper was the collections of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERJC), The ERIC Clearinghouse on Vocational and Technical Education, the Research Library of the Center for Vocational and Technical Education, and information secured from state directors of vocational education through November 1970.
