Abstract

[he purpose of this study was to examine teachers' and

parents' ratings of students' employability skills. The

study involved five multi-handicapped (MH) special education

units within a rural school district. Five female teachers

and fourteen sets ot parents used the Ohio

Employability/Lite kills Assessment, Parent Form to assess

student mastery of employability attitudes and skills. A

total ot i!D students between the ages of eight years and

sixtean years participated in the study. (Male = 6, Female =

file study concluded there were no significant

differences between teacher ratings of students and parent

ratings of the same employability character'istic.

P.L. 94-142 mandated that parents and educational

professionals work together to establish learning goals for

special needs students. Additional legislation required

parents and educators to jointly construct Individual

Iransition (iiP) for special needs students ages

sixteen and over. As these team members met to develop

Individual Eoucation 1-I-ograms (I.E,P.) and Individual

fransition Plans (I.T.P.), it became increasingly important

that members of tne team be in agreement about the current

levels of performance for each student.

Wehman (1992) states that although parents have always

been the driving force behind change in special education,

parents are not fully "on board" with transition (the move

from the school setting to the world of work) and have

difficulty working directly with school personnel to

coordinate the education of their child. Wehman believes

parents and educators frequently do not see the child "in

the same light". He also believes that is not uncommon for

parents to see a child as they wish him to be and that

teachers are frequently severe in their assessments of

student abilities.

._tatement ct i-roolem

Based on Wenman.s concern that parents are not "fully

Poard", the zwrpone of Lhls study was to investigate the

relationship of teacher versus parent ratings of students on

Qmoloyaoility skills. Employability skills for this study

were defined as employment related behaviors such as

attendance, social and interpersonal skills, attention span,

communication skills, personal hygiene, dependability and

productivity.

Review of Related Literature

In 1986 the Ohio Council on Vocational Education

conducted a survey of 60 Ohio employers. These employers

were asked to identify the qualities they looked for in job

applicants. This report specifically sets forth the ten

skills most sought oy Ohio employers. It also lists the

most frequently given reasons for firing an employee.

According to this survey, the most desirable asset was a

positive work attitude. Reading skills were ranked third and

basic mathematics were rated fifth. (Appendix, Table 1, Ohio

Council on Vocational Education, 1'986) This survey promotes

the advocacy of employability skills over core academics so

t:sequently requested/demanded by parents.

ihis employer survey coupled with the legal mandates

for i.E.P.s and I.F.P.s necessitates team members ( parents

and educational Professionals) share goals, expectations and

levels of pertormance. (Shelby, 1990) In many cases this

snaring of information is difficult. Frequently, inforMation

snaring is only done immediately prior to I.E.F. /I.T.P.

cpnterences. StUOV conducted by the Nanaimo School

uistrict showed that -15% of parents spoke with the teacher

onlv wnen tne teacher contacted them. Additionally, 12%

said they rarely contacted the teacher. (Appendix, Table II,

14anaimp Scnools leacher Contacts) This lack of contact

between schools and parents makes it difficult for members

or tne educational team to share information about the

child.

To help bridge this seeming lack of communication

between parents and teachers (as it relates to current

levels of employability skills) the Ohio Department of

Education funded research and implementation of the

Employability/Lite Skills Assessment. This form was

designed to gather intormation from both parents and

teachers as to current levels of performance in the area of

emoiovaoil itv and 1 ite skills.

Assessment of children's behavioral problems involves

human judgment. With any type of selfreport data, rater

reliapilty is a key issue. Achenbach, McConaughty, and

Howell t1987) report that across 269 samples in 119 studies,

the mean Pearson r was .60 between raters playing similar

roles. te.9. pairs at parents, pairs of teachers) The

report also Indicates that the mean Pearson r drops to .28

wnen raters playing different roles are considered. (e.g.

parent with teacher)

Statement of Hypothesis

The literature suggested there may be poor interrater

reliabilty between parents and teachers. This study asked

it parents and teachers differ in their assessment of

student mastery of employability attitudes and skills. It

was hypothesized that there was no difference between the

two groups ot raters.

metnod

sublects

Parents of the forty one students currently placed in

multihandicapped special education units in Sandusky County,

Ohio, were asked to participate in the study. Fourteen

parents consented to the study. (One set of parents have two

children enrolled in MH units, thus accounting for n=15.)

instrument

Data for the study was obtained through use of the

Emptovaollity/Lite :Skills Assessment, Parent Form which was

developed by the Ohio Department of Education, Division of

Special Education. The assessment asks observers to rate

students on eight characteristics of employability/life

skills.

Procedures

Each of the forty one students enrolled in Sandusky

County multihandicapped special education units received a

copy of the Employability/Life Skills Assessment Form. Their

parents were asked to complete and return the form. Special

education classroom teachers completed identical

questionnaires tor each student. (Appendix, fable i11, Ohio

Employability, Life Skills Form)

Results

A t test was used to compare the data obtained in the

twenty tour areas of employability/lite skills. Analysis

snowed that, over-ail, there were no statistical

differences in the rating severity between parents and

teachers itki4/=-L.72,

it snoulo oe noted that statistically significant

dif-ferences were found within the characteristics of

relations with supervisors and relations with peers.

Althougn only two of the eight tested employability

characteristics were statistically significant, analysis of

the data showed that for all characteristics parents rated

the child(reni higher than the teachers.

Discussion

The results of this study support the original belief

chat there is no ditference in student ratings by parents

and teachers. cAppendix, Fable 4, Data Summary Chart)

Hithoug n the data is not statistically significant, the

results have practical implication in so tar as they support

tne theory that schools need to continue their work in the

areas of cooperation, collaboration and communication

witn parents. tne samples for the study came from

small rural schools, and the sample population was less than

thirty. the results of this study may not be may

generalizaole to all parent/teacher rating situations. More

studies are needed, in a variety of settings, to determine

the true correlational measure of teach/parent rating.

Hltnougn tne Ohio Employability/Life Skills test has

been used thoughout special education units in Ohio for

several years, the test results are based solely on

observation/self report data and may possibly not represent

totally accurate information. in further studies, steps

snouid be taken to provide for both interrater and

int.rarater reliability

Ages 6-13 yearsdeveloped by

Roberta Weaverand Joseph R. DeLuca

CHILD'S INFORMATION

Name: Birthdate.

RATIONALEEmployability skills are those personal social behaviors and daily living habits that have been identified by employers and young

entry-level workers as essential for obtaining employment and for success in the work place. These-are life skills that must be

taught with the same rigor as basic skills. The development of such skills is a life long process, with performance being relative to a

child's ability and age. Parents have the responsibility to teach and expect employability skills from children of all ages.

GENERAL DIRECTIONSThis criterion-referenced checklist may be used yearly, beginning at the age of 6, to assess child's level of performance in the

twenty-four critical employability skill areas identified by Ohio's Employability Skills Project. Three descriptors are provided for

each skill. Child performance should be rated using the following scale: 3 = usually, 2 = sometimes, I = s. ldom, 0 = never.

EXAMPLE (for a 6 year old child)

I. SELF HELP SKILLS AGE

A. Demonstrates personal hygieneand grooming by:

meeting parent expectation forcleanliness.

meeting parent expectation forgood grooming (hair combed, shirttucked in, etc.).meeting parent expectation forconsistent. independent personalhygiene and grooming.
