ABSTRACT: The results of a needs assessment designed to
determine the needs and problems of select disadvantaged
students completing vocational education programs at Fresno
City College (FCC), California, are presented in this
report. Part 1 provides the needs assessment and program
planning model, including a flow chart, and the narrative
description. Part 2 describes the field testing of the
model: the concerns assessment and the student testing and
FCC records data. Part 3 includes the following measurable
student objectives for the Extended Opportunity Program and
the Enabler Program at FCC developed from the data obtained
from the needs assessment: retention, attitudes,
measurements, affirmative action, program completion,
personal growth/fulfillment outcomes, required
skills/knowledge outcomes, and grade point average
outcomes.
Part 4 presents these conclusions: using the tools and
logic
of educational system planning, a needs assessment and
planning model for community college disadvantaged student
programs can be developed; and for given community college
disadvantaged students, concerns can be identified using
existing college documents and personal group interviews.
Part 4 also includes the following recommendations: all
components of the needs assessment and planning model
should
be thoroughly field tested; and a new model should be
developed to strengthen the present one. (JH)
