| contents | To Determine the Practical or Occupational Skills That Are Taught in Four Non-occupational Subjects and Identify Applicable Job Areas. Lomen, Lynn D. Basic Skills Community Colleges Employment Qualifications General Education Graduate Surveys Job Skills Liberal Arts Student Attitudes Terminal Students Transfer Students Two Year Colleges This study was designed to determine the degree to which English I, Political Science I, Mathematics 20, and Spanish I were perceived by Los Angeles Valley College graduates to have contributed to their acquisition of practical skills. A questionnaire listing 21 job-related skills (determined through employer and supervisor interviews) was sent to 450 "four year transfer" graduates, 300 "two year occupational" graduates, and 69 instructors; response rates were 63.6%, 63.6%, and 70%, respectively. In general, the instructors' ratings for each skill were higher than those of the graduates. The graduates perceived English I as having given them far more practical skills than any of the other courses; however, they rated all the courses rather low. The skills listed were: to speak to a group; to write a report; to read with accuracy and understanding; to be creative; to be adaptable and flexible; to use judgment in making decisions; to be neat and systematic in the presentation of material; to use scientific laboratory procedures; to do mathematical computations; to put things in categories; to memorize; to draw something; to understand about the environment; to be a leader; to understand about one's self; to understand about others; to plan work; to use self discipline in meeting deadlines; to practice using shorthand; to practice typing; and to use a library.
